Read the scenario in problem 16.8 (pg. 547) in which a local food bank needs some graphics to enhance a request for better funding. Using some of their data, create one effective visual they could use to make their appeal. You dont need to represent all the data given. Choose one or two pieces of information you think you could represent effectively, and think carefully about the best kinds of visualizations for the point you are trying to make. Remember that this must be a persuasive chart or graph, which will invite even more funding for the food bank.

You are volunteering for a local food bank and the director has asked for your assistance. The food bank may be able to receive some state funding if the director can assemble a persuasive proposal about the need for the food bank. The director gives you the following information and asks if you can create data for it.

Food bank is open four days a week.

One director and four volunteers.

Food bank feeds 100-150 families per week.

Of those families, 95% have children under 18.

Often, food will run out by the end of Thursday.

If given more support, the food bank could feed many more families in need (the goal would be 250), and could hire more staff members.
