The Food Pantry Project is a place where people can donate non-perishable foods and personal care items. These items would then help students in need from the University of Colorado Denver. In order for students to receive the help from the University, they have to present a valid CU Denver Student identification. You can only take a limited amount of items because of the number of students the University has. My classmates and I thought of five different ways to help the Food Pantry Project be able to give more food to students. We could ask our parents, ask our neighbors, ask rich neighborhoods, ask small food businesses and last of all ask faculty members.
The target we have to help us raise money for students in need consist of five different

We need the most amount of help we can get from our parents. Our parents have foods they don’t really need in their pantry that could be given to students from CU Denver. We would accept money from our parent because the money is another way to get food to the students. We would ask our parents by just begging them to give us food to help students from my University. Another group that would be able to help us are our neighbors. They are a big tool because some of the neighbors we have could give some of their canned food to help students in college. Our neighbors are really caring people that would be glad to give us food to help the CU Denver pantry. I would ask them politely if they are willing to help students in need from CU Denver with non-perishable healthy foods. Another group that would be able to help us with this project is rich neighborhoods because these people most of the time have a lot of leftover canned foods they don’t eat. If we tell them nicely that we are
In many cases, the local food pantry may be a far drive and residents do not have proper transportation to get there.2 Even if residents are able to go to food pantries, typically there is not a lot of fresh food due to the expenses of keeping fresh food refrigerated.

Boxes upon boxes of food are everywhere. It is time to carry out operation Sack Pack Program at West Sioux High School. Four adults and ten students prepare to form an assembly line to make 350 sack packs for students in need, from kindergarten to twelfth grade. These students in need could go hungry over the weekend if it was not for these sack packs, which provide nutritious, healthy food. I had the privilege of speaking to one of the sack pack program directors.
Dill Driscoll has made a huge impact on many lives with bringing Manna Drop to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. The Manna Drop is where faculty and students give food to families on Thanksgiving that lack money to buy it themselves. Some families are not eligible for government assistance and depend on Feeding America and Manna Drop to supply them with food. Manna Drop is a great way to teach students to give back to the community and to get out of their comfort zone. Students have stated that “It is the most meaningful thing they have done at ABAC.”
Problem/Need: The FFA camp for our FFA district has been hosted for many years. Every year FFA students from our FFA district attend this camp.

In a country that wastes billions of pounds of food each year, it's almost shocking that anyone in America goes hungry. Yet every day, there are millions of children and adults who do not get the meals they need to thrive. We work to get nourishing food – from farmers, manufacturers, and retailers – to people in need. At the same time, we also seek to help the people we serve build a path to a brighter, food-secure future.

For students who are struggling with this issue that live on campus they will have the opportunity to use their peers meal credits. Once the month is up any student who has unused meal credits can donate them to an organization for students who are struggling with finding a reliable source for food. These struggling students then will be able to use the donated meal credits to eat whichever food they have on campus. A solution for students who don’t live on campus is to have food pantries. Which are where people donate food or organizations get food and put them in boxes for students to have for free.
What would you recommend for the next possible steps? Since they are in the starting phase of their student fund raising project, this means that they must try and work toward a project charter. According to Gido & Clements (2012, p. 488), project charter is “a document issued by the project sponsor that authorizes the project and commits funds for the project . . ..” This would require Council of Fraternities and Sororities (CFS) to brainstorm what fund-raising project they want to do. Also, putting in place a survey and some criteria as to how they would determine how they would choose a fundraiser.
