b. Possibly saying that at any point you to could need food, and TASK would be there for you.

Foote, Cone & Belding Strategy Model:

Could either be Quadrant 2 (high-importance with emotion)- depending on the amount of money or food donated or Quadrant 4 if you are not donating a lot of money or food. It is definitely emotional when deciding who to donate your money to because whoever you feel bad for at the time, you could feel inclined to give money to. When it is more money being donated, you start to think more and more about who you give it to.
