Community Need
EXAMPLE: People
need access to
non-perishable food

How Was it
Identified?
News articles and
anecdotal evidence of
grocery stores being a
high-risk environment

Service Learning
Action Plan
Research Needed
Before Application

neighborhood food
banks where people
can use the “Take what
you need, leave what
you can” mentality, like
they have done in this
article
What kind of containers
will be the best, but
also inexpensive
options?
How will we promote
the banks once they
are set up?
How many will we
need, and where
should we put them?
