zation’s president, and two officers: Rosemary Olsen, vice
president, and Steve

Andrews, volunteer coordinator. Beth announces, “Our funds are

almost

exhausted. The demands on the food bank have been increasing. We

need to

figure out how to get more funds.”

“We need to have a fundraising project,” responds Rosemary.

Steve suggests, “Can’t we ask the city government if they can
increase their

allocation of funds to us?”

“They’re strained. They may even cut our allocation next year,”
replies Beth.

“How much do we need to get us through this year?” asks

Rosemary.

“About $10,000,” answers Beth, “and we are going to start needing

that money

in about two months.”

“We need a lot of things besides money. We need more volunteers,

“This project is growing. We’ll never get it done in time,” Beth
says.

Rosemary responds, “We’ll figure it out and get it done. We always

do.”

“Is a project what we need? What are we going to do next

year—another proj-

ect?” asks Steve. “Besides, we’re having a hard time getting

volunteers anyway.

Maybe we need to think about how we can operate with less money.
For exam-

ple, how can we get more food donations on a regular basis so we

won’t have to
buy as much food?”

Rosemary jumps in. “Great idea! You can work on that while we also
try to

raise funds. We can’t leave any stone unturned.”

“Time out,” says Beth. “These are all very good ideas, but we have
limited

funds and volunteers and a growing demand. We need to do something

now to

make sure we don’t have to close our doors in two months. I think
we all agree

we need to undertake some type of initiative. But I’m not sure we

all agree on the

objective.”

1. this is the non profit organisation and they all are busy in
donating the food to the needy people , as

distribute the food to the needy person , the need that they have
been identified is
the need of fund for their project , as they
want more fund to meet the demands.

providing food to the needy person , so they want
to raise more
fund to meet the demand of the needy person.

few months. and they also not getting any
support from the local
goverment and the demand of the people is increasing , they need
more voulentier
