The organization's mission is to strengthen bodies, empower minds, and build communities. The team profiles the customer as financially disadvantaged students who need help affording meals.

The team tested different marketing hypotheses and found that private Facebook events were most effective. They assessed their roles and limitations encountered regarding student privacy.
