Administers a client-based survey called the "Prosper Plan" to the TMFB clients. The Prosper Plan is a self-directed intervention model where the client can determine the necessary resources they require in addition to accessing food bank services. I also collect research based on the clients needs to ensure that the resources are warm, and not cold referrals. Administers a client-based survey called the "Prosper Plan" to the TMFB clients.
