There is nothing much to report for our second blog. We are still trying to organize our ideas and plan out some dates. This week was more of a maintenance week. Although, we did get our Instagram set up and ready! We also found some places to donate our items to which is super exciting. We have decided that we are going to do a food drive as well as a hygiene/personal care items donation. We plan to have donation sites set up at the elementary schools that we each went to. Sarah will be in charge of Pinebrook, Makenna will be in charge of Cornatzer and Jenna will be in charge of Shady Grove. We will also have sites at all of the middle schools, and a couple of classrooms at Davie. The donations that we will be accepting for the hygiene drive are, toothbrushes, deodorants, travel size shampoo or conditioner, body wash, combs, mouthwash. We are also thinking about adding cleaning supplies such as trash bags, lysol wipes, and lysol spray to this drive. The items we are accepting for the food drive include any canned items and dry boxes of food (uncooked boxes of noodles, rice, or any non-perishable items). In this upcoming week, we will be communicating with the schools, and teachers to ask if we can have a donation box at these locations. We haven't figured out the dates of when these will take place, but we are finishing up with the planning stage in the next two weeks, and then beginning the drives. Our plan is starting to take place, and we are all pumped to continue! Stay tuned for more updates and information!
We have officially made an Instagram that we will be updating with new announcements about our drives!

Our first ever blog post with many more to come!! We are so excited to do this project, and help others in our community. When Mr. Barker gave us this assignment, we knew we wanted to do something that impacts the world around us. This is something that means a lot to us and will follow us into the future. We still are working on finalizing our plan of a food drive, but this is only the beginning. We have thought about a canned food drive, a drive up donation site, a volunteer job at a distribution and sorting site, and a collection of donated personal items to be organized and given out to people in need. All of our donations and proceeds will be going to The Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina or will be donated to the Davie County Hunger Fighters. We are looking into all of these options and considering our ideas in the time we have. We are also looking into creating advertisements for our ideas. We will be using social media as the main way to get the word out! Creating flyers, online posts, online flyers, Facebook, and neighborhood sites, are some of the ways of spreading the word of the ideas we have taken into consideration. We are continuing to plan this upcoming week and budget our time. With some additional help from in class resources, we have decided to dedicate specific times for this every week and collectively work on it. We will either facetime or get together in person to work on this and accomplish this goal. Another thing we will be doing is a weekly goal sheet to help us with organization and staying on task. Finally, blog posts will be updated weekly to summarize that weeks work. We are so excited for this project and hope you are too!
