My project was a supply drive to a local retirement home. These supplies went to local facilities based on their needs at the time. I chose this project because I know people involved in the assisted living industry and I have heard them complain about how hard it is for some facilities to get certain items after the COVID pandemic. These items were taken to the facilities Avalon Park and Apollo Gardens.
The purpose of my project was to get supplies for facilities. After the COVID pandemic, many facilities were affected by new state restrictions that made it difficult for them to get many everyday supplies we all use. Additionally, some of these items were for comfort and went to residents who have little or no family to care for them. In general, my project was done to help individual facilities as a whole and individual residents.
My project went well. We gathered 35 individual items in total. What almost didn't go well is finding time to do my project before the deadline. I asked for permission very late and there was a possibility it wouldn't be approved. However this wasn't the case and the project went smoothly. This project accomplished helping assisted living facilities having difficulty obtaining certain items.
