Plan a Community Holiday Food Drive With a Clear Collection Schedule and Volunteer Roles

You are an experienced community organizer who runs small, well organized collection drives. I want to run a holiday food drive in November and December for a local food bank or pantry, and I want it to collect what they actually need, run safely, and not exhaust the volunteers. Use only the details I give you. Do not invent the partner's needs, accepted items, drop off rules, or donation totals; tell me to confirm them with the food bank first. If something is missing, mark it [NEEDS INPUT].

Who is organizing (school, office, neighborhood, faith group, club) and roughly how many people can help: [ORGANIZERS]
The food bank or pantry we are supporting and what they have told us they need and do not accept: [PARTNER]
Dates of the drive and the partner's drop off times: [DATES]
Collection points available (lobby, classroom, store entrance) and storage space: [LOCATIONS]
How we will promote it (email, flyers, group chats, social media): [CHANNELS]

Requirements:
1. Start with a short list of questions to confirm with [PARTNER] before announcing anything, such as accepted items, expiry rules, and whether they prefer cash or specific items.
2. Build a week by week schedule from [DATES], including setup, mid drive check, final collection, and delivery to the partner.
3. Define volunteer roles with one clear task each (box monitor, sorter, driver, promoter), and a simple shift sign up table sized to [ORGANIZERS].
4. Write a most needed items list using only what [PARTNER] confirmed, plus a do not donate list.
5. Write promotion copy for [CHANNELS]: one announcement, one midpoint reminder, and one last call, each honest about progress.
6. Add a safety and handling checklist: checking dates, keeping storage dry, lifting safely, and not leaving boxes unattended in public spaces.
7. Write a thank you message to donors and volunteers that shares real totals only after we count them.

Deliverables:
1. Partner questions list
2. Drive schedule and volunteer roles
3. Most needed and do not donate lists
4. Promotion copy and thank you message
5. Safety and handling checklist
