A 'Shopper's Club Survey' Turns into
'Pastor Paul's Club'
Today with 1500 Members

This project was in the making for years. It started with a market survey people took, while waiting in line for the Easter Holiday Giveaway. The survey asked what products were needed, at what price, how much money was available to spend, and where such items were purchased. Some items included were household, clothing, food, etc. The response was remarkable. After tallying up the 1,500 survey results we decided to add the survey to the Grocery Registration Form's last page. To date everyone registered has completed the survey. In January 2004 Pastor Paul's Club started accepting members. Today, 1500 households have joined the club.

Pastor Paul's Club is an annual membership of registered households of the Grocery Shelf that contribute to the program. The benefits for membership include the following:

• Picture ID's
