Initial Emails

  Interview Scheduling Good Evening Central PA Food Bank. My name is Penelope Williams and I am a student who attends Millersville University, studying Interactive and Graphic Design. For my Design for Social Equity class, my group mates and I are researching non-profit organizations and in doing so, we are working to learn more about Central PA Food Bank.

Measurable Statement

 We will be able to tell if this fundraiser is a success based on the amount of money raised, enjoyment students had and if students understand food banks better.

The other two measurables could be found through quick surveys after the fundraiser to see if the students enjoyed the fundraiser and to test their understanding of food banks.
