| Lessons/suggestions | I should have advertised to the whole health science center community but instead assumed I would get a larger response from our classes. It was a busy week for first years with a test - so I should have chosen a larger target audience. |
| ADDITIONAL COMMENTS | |
| Comments | Was able to collect a decent amount of food from the people that did participate! Was definitely helpful to the local food bank. |
