What is the objective of your project

What components of your shipping container fit the need: Some components of our shipping
container that fit the needs are: areas to store food, air conditioning, refrigeration, and windows.

What are the needs of the community: Canned foods or goods that are non-perishable, as well as some types of
perishable items

Include : Solar panels to power lights, and refrigeration. There will be pipelines attached to the city’s water supply that will go to a
water purifier inside the containers. Portable restrooms will be located outside of the containers. An awning will be outside where food
is being handed out, to provide shade while people wait.
Provide 2 sources from your research for why the project
fulfills a need in the community

1. “ I think that’s it’s very necessary and helpful for those that need help obtaining healthy food, I think it
would be a great idea for those who can’t make it all the way down town.” Lynae Oats

2. “These days, many people can benefit from a community food bank, more so than ever before.
Times are tight, and with inflation on the rise, even middle-class people are finding themselves in
need.” Erica Porter
