Abstract
Purpose
This is a web application that is to be used at drop-off locations as well as special events across the state for Operation Christmas Child. It will be used to gather information from individuals as well as determine drop-off statistics for drop-off locations.
All information will be entered into a database and retrieved as needed
Donations will be associated with a drop-off location using geolocation.
Digitize paper forms that are currently being used
Reduce short-term volunteer training
Increase data integrity
Reduce year-round volunteer time dedicated to processing paper forms
Eliminate the need to decipher illegible handwriting

Motivation
The current paper method of data collection results in considerable loss of data due to illegible or incomplete forms
Volunteers spend 20+ hours annually processing Drop-Off Logs
There is a lack of continuity between donor lists used by various volunteers
The system will give all volunteers access to current data as needed in a useable format
