ANSWER

QUESTIONS
6. VALUE =
VISION IN THE WORKS
“Then the Lord answered me and said:
‘Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.”
-Habakkuk 2:2 (NKJV)
If you can communicate the value that you or your organization creates and invite others to create that same value you discussed you can market not to a point of sale but market to attract participation.
Participation is the desired action so all things within your control need to be seamless to that end.
Make it easy for a volunteer to see themselves working with your organization or team.
What value are you creating?
Why do you create this value?
Are you/Will create this value you successfully?
Why should I help you create this value?
How can I help you create this value?
Value = Vision in the works. Volunteers need to see you winning. See you accomplishing your goals.
What value are you creating? Feeding the less fortunate of the Eastern San Francisco Bay Area
Why do you create this value? Eastern San Francisco Bay Area has the highest levels of poverty and the lowest means to assistance. 4 of the communities we serve are on 100% government assistance. Almost unheard of in the San Francisco Bay Area. Without FDCM hundreds of children will not eat over the upcoming holidays.
Are you/Will create this value you successfully? Since we began in 2013 we've fed 1,500 families, 7,500 individuals and distributed 12 tons of food.
Why should I help you create this value? As volunteer you can help to feed underprivileged families and children right here in San Francisco Bay. Statistic show that when Not-for-profit organization such as FDCM come into an area and offer strategic assistance toward self sufficiency, crime rates in the affected locale and neighboring communities decreases. Children can focus more on lessons and studies when they are well fed and not malnourished. only your help makes all these things possible.
How can I help you create this value? Angels, what we call our volunteers, can help in primarily 3 ways. Food distribution, Food Donations, and Food Packaging.
Meet Juanita. Juanita lives in the uptown Oakland, where more than 40 percent of residents live below the poverty line[1]. On Friday afternoon when Juanita leaves John Muir Elementary she will not have another meal until breakfast time on Monday morning when she returns to school the following week. Juanita lives in what sociologist call a Food Dessert.
Now meet Rebecca. Rebecca is an Angel with Food Distribution Centre Ministries (FDCM). On this Friday, Rebecca helps to distribute foods from local food banks in the parking lot of John Muir Elementary. Juanita will now receive enough food for herself and her 4 other family members to eat over the weekend and into next week.
Since FDCM began in 2013 we've fed 1,500 families just like Juanita's. But we could never accomplish such an extraordinary task without the help of our angels. People just like you! People who are willing to take a small part in making the San Francisco Bay Area a better place for everyone.

To types of oil filters. By pass and Full Flow. Full flow is most common in which all the oil gets filtered before going into the engine. There is a bypass system integrated into the full flow filter systems so that if the filter is clogged up, the bypass allows unfiltered oil to flow into the engine. Dirty oil is better than no oil at all.
