1st Help Project Reflection

Sarah Canul's Thanksgiving Food Drive

What did you do to help?
I helped run the food drive on one of the mornings when Sarah wasn't able to make it.  I also helped her count up the food cans at the end of the day sometimes. 
Who did you help?
I helped Sarah Canul with her Thanksgiving Food Drive for the two weeks it was held before Thanksgiving break.  She collected canned foods for the Des Moines food bank.
What did you learn?
I thought her idea was very innovative because instead of just asking people to donate, she exchanged coffee and tea for each item donated. For the future, ASB could definitely use this type of fundraiser idea to make fundraisers more successful.
What would you do differently next time?
There were problems with getting the hot water started and we were unable to serve coffee that day.  If this were to happen in the future, I would try to have better communication with Sarah to get a better idea of exactly what I needed to do.
