Sound familiar?

Lines while you search

Guests wait at the door while a volunteer flips through a binder or scrolls a spreadsheet to find their record.

The same household, entered twice

When a returning family is hard to find, staff start a new record instead — so the same household gets counted two or three times, and the numbers you report to funders drift from reality.

The monthly report crunch

Reporting day means stitching spreadsheets together for hours and hoping the totals are right.
