SUMMARY
Reflection
so initially I emailed places that I consider myself to be involved with to see if they would allow me to place a box in their facility but they said no.
This was suprising to me but it taught me to be flexible and to be able to deviate from the plane and get an outcome that perhaps wasn't optimle but still worked.
ultimantly this was a great opportunity for me to unit my community to give back and to support my locol humane society
Project Impact
I rased a little less than 1000 dollors worth of goods to give to the humane society.

Project Outcomes & Reflection
1.00 hour leading an initiative | Compassion
In the begging I contacted my middle school, church, and highschool to see if they would be willing to allow me to place a box in their facilities but to my suprise they were unwilling. This was very interesting to me because I thought for sure they would, after all growing up I always remember some donation box somewhere.
This taught me to be flexible being that 0/3 of the places I wanted to put boxes actually allowed me to place them, I had to be creative and go with places that would but just were not on my radar for locations.
