If you didn’t know, September is Hunger Action Month, and if you haven’t yet done anything about that, attending this Thursday’s Mission Street Food is a pretty easy way to do so. They’re doing meals made for $1.33 to go along with the San Francisco Food Bank’s 2009 Hunger Challenge. The gist of it is, people on food stamps have to budget about $4 a day to eat, which comes out to $1.33 a meal. MSF is going to make a bunch of meals that cost $1.33, charge you more for them, and donate the proceeds to the food bank. Easy peasy, right? Check out what $1.33 can buy you below.
