Project 1

I'm sure, as everyone else would tell you, I was incredibly excited about finally getting to start our first project. I was very excited when I heard that we would be working with a food bank. Now which food bank, was the question. When I heard it was Metro's food bank, I said, "We have a food bank?" I had no idea that a food bank on campus just for Metro students existed! They then explained that we would be providing a strategic plan for the food bank with the biggest problem being space. They are located in a very small space and can only accommodate so many students. One thing we had to do was come up with a creative way to better utilize the space they currently have. Along with creating a strategic plan, we were also required to either work at the soup kitchen at St. Elizabeth's (located on campus) or volunteer at the Food Bank of the Rockies. I chose to volunteer at the Food Bank of the Rockies. It was an amazing experience and would recommend that everyone at some point in there life volunteer at a place like this.
