I volunteered for the service project at High Plains Food Bank. High Plains Food Bank was founded in 1982 by a group of concerned citizens who conducted a survey to see if food banks were needed in the area. High Plains Food Bank is a nonprofit organization, and its mission is to attenuate hunger in the Texas Panhandle by collecting, storing, and distributing groceries to the hungry people in the Texas Panhandle. The agency helps many families every year and is continuing to help more families. The food bank is located at 815 Ross St, Amarillo, TX. I volunteered for the Product Recovery section that organized groceries and distributed them into certain boxes. HPFB is working to help prevent hunger and can provide four meals worth of food for

With all the donations from BABH, the West Alabama Food Bank is sustained for four to five months (Charland).

Red bins will be set out all over campus, in the Ferg, and in the lecture halls, to drop off canned goods.
Measuring the outcomes of No Hunger Food Pantry is fundamental in evaluating our success. An evolution of our services allows us to determine our impact on the client, which is critical to our funding and sustainability.

We created a client survey to formulate a consumer profile and assess their satisfaction with our services.
Imagine several children living on the street after a devastating disaster. They are surrounded by the aftermath of the storm. Picture a family of 5, trying desperately to support themselves.

We just did a clothing distribution in the "regions beyond. " This is where so many of you, our partners and donors, shine.

I volunteered at Mother Hubbard's Cupboard, an emergency food pantry, in Wilmington, North Carolina from 2012-2016. Throughout my four years of service, I learned how to handle almost all of the jobs available to volunteers, including packing packages for families with a stove or no-stove individuals, teaching new volunteers about the Cupboard and the jobs available, checking patrons in at the front desk, preparing hygiene supply packages for patrons, and working at various tables in the front to distribute various additional food to patrons. I am interested in serving on the Feed the Pack Leadership Team because I want to expand the overall impact and efficiency of Feed the Pack. I am committed to service and I want to lead a life of serving others, and I believe that working on the FTP Leadership team will allow me to continue to maximize my service efforts in the community and beyond.

This took place at IU Methodist hospital in Indianapolis; the hospital use to have hotel rooms for patients whose family wanted to stay with them. Also, they use the rooms for the homeless, so that they had somewhere to sleep that was warm.

Together this network is the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief organization.

According to Hilliard, the intentions of the Free Food Program was to provide poor people with groceries until economic conditions allowed them to purchase good food at reasonable prices.

The community was provided with bags of fresh food containing items such as eggs, canned fruits and vegetables, chickens, milk, potatoes, rice, bread, cereal and so forth. A minimum of a week’s supply of food was included in each bag. “Interested primarily in educating and revolutionizing the community, we

A. Describe one of the managerial problems encountered during your Foundations Project Plan experience, and reflect upon three managerial approaches (concepts) and/or analytic tools that you used to address the issue. Why did you choose these concepts and/or tools? In my sight, the main managerial problem in Harvest Kitchen is communication in terms of collaboration with the other internal Farm Fresh programs and external customers or suppliers. This communication is not oral, but communications of collaborations between internal Farm Fresh Programs and external customers.
Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for family, friends, and for everything we are fortunate to have. Sadly, there are families that do not have that and at Ramapo we take pride in donating our time to help the less fortunate. On Saturday, November 19, 2016, I, along with my Ramapo Baseball teammates, took part in the Thanksgiving Project Joy run by the SAAC Committee at Ramapo College. What I find most interesting is that every year the mood is upbeat and we meet other volunteers from different colleges, elementary schools and business around the area. Throughout the week, the players on the Ramapo Baseball team would go out and purchase food, toys, and other items with our own money to help fill the baskets.
