By the end of the year, we completed our donation drive and our homeless women kits.

Something positive we did for our school was we encouraged team work in the advisory classes by hosting a competition, and we helped students care about others by hosting a donation drive.

Something positive we did for our community was that we gave St. Francis Center the food and materials that some could not afford and need to survive. We also personally helped sort and organize the food at St. Francis Center, and also passed out those food supplies to community members in need when they came to the Pantry Program. 

If we could redo this project, an improvement would be to encourage more students to donate and make more volunteer opportunities at the St. Francis Center, so that more students could get involved and have the hands-on experiences that we did.

​The short-term outcome of this project is to provide personal hygiene kits to homeless women in order to meet their needs. Another outcome of this project will be to provide more food supplies to local food banks. Finally, we also will host workshops and events on campus to make our students and staff excited about our project; for example, we would like to host workshops where we teach our school community how to hand-make goods like soap. 

In the long-term, our goal is to encourage people to help out at events like food drives, donation drives, and volunteering for local community services. By hosting events at our middle school, we can shape how our students see their community and make them feel responsible for helping others.
