General response towards the SRC's efforts to provide food to citizens in need has been great. Many people seem to be very excited about the project and a few have agreed to help us with our current projects. There have however been a few incidents where citizens have complained about our work stating that their country already had a health system or food bank set up. The SRC's goal is not to replace local health networks. It's our mission to take pressure off of the local infrastructure so that they can lower their costs and workloads in turn helping more people. Money donated to the SRC is distributed globally and used on any of the five projects we have running at this time. If we can take 10% or even 5% of the load away from the local networks in every market we are working in then overall I believe we have achieved our goal. The SRC is never going to be as personal with citizens as local organizations, that's not our purpose.
The SRC at this point is staffed by three individuals. After just two days we have provided two units of food for 50 people, which is 100 days of resources. To purchase the resources the SRC asks for a donation of 1 unit of local currency. The idea is, if everybody gives 1% then 100 people can achieve 100%. I believe we have achieved that in very short order. Thanks to everybody who has contributed to the SRC, and thanks especially to the local organizations that strive along side us to make things better.
