The Problem
How should St. Vincent de Paul allocate their food pantry resources to
serve those in need?
Case Study
Produce is one of the most limited supplies at the pantry due to its short
shelf life. On the print out, the only rule is that the neighbors can only
take as much produce as they can fit in a plastic bag. Sometimes,
however, neighbors would try to take more than their share of produce.
If youre taking around a Neighbor with the smallest family size and you
notice them taking a large amount of produce, how would you respond?
