Week 6

Today in class we further defined our mission statement and Nicole e-mailed and Facebook messaged Water Street Ministries, Campus Cupboard, and Millersville Meals on Wheels to see if we could collaborate with any of them to donate food from the Anchor. Below is our tentative project timeline, which should hopefully take about four weeks.

Project Timeline

Week 1:

·      Contacted Dining Services to see what we could donate from the dining halls.

·      Researching community organizations to donate the food to.

Week 2

·      Met with Gerry Shehan, Associate Director of Dining Services and discussed what we could donate from the Upper Deck, but discovered that the Anchor would be a better place to donate food from.

·      Contacting community organizations.

·      Discussing particular foods that could be donated.

Week 3

·      Start on our case study.

·      Hopefully hear back from Meals on Wheels in Millersville and Water Street Ministries.

·      Re-meet with Gerry or e-mail him to figure out the next steps that we should pursue.
