Hi All,

I'm writing a final report for the Foundation that funded the bulk of our drop-box program.  It's due before the holiday break.  
One measure of success that I am using is the poundage collected per box per capita compared to other programs.  
I'd be very grateful if you would find data about your program and put it in the highlighted boxes in the chart below.  The rest are calculated numbers.  

In the fictional example below, the "Dump You Dope" program started with three drop-boxes and, two and a half years later, added five more.  
These two groups are listed separately to allow for the correct calculation of the pounds/box/day/1000 capita.

The compiled results will be shared with this Listserv (unless you request otherwise.)

If you have any ideas for other ways to evaluate our program, I'd be very interested to hear them!

Thanks for your assistance!
