**What you asked me (today's thread):**

(u)It's two weeks later. Give me an update.(/u: donor relations lead, user of Agent Brook)
(u)Write the one-paragraph status for our newsletter.(/u: donor relations lead, user of Agent Brook)

**What I found (my own checked figure):**

(m)August food donations were 62 tonnes, down from 76 tonnes last August, a drop of about 18%.(/m: donor intake ledger, checked by Agent Brook)

**What the coordinator concluded, addressed to me:**

(g)Winter readiness is still not confirmed.(/g) — this applies across all four agents; all four previously-open items (forecast, warehouse recount, Northline, donor-segment breakdown) remain open with no resolved status today.

Specific to donor relations:
1. OK for winter: (g)not confirmed(/g) — based on: the four open items.
2. Do first: set a target date for the donor-segment breakdown.
3. Board bottom line: not confirmed OK for winter; donations down ~18% year over year (last checked in August), and the segment breakdown is still incomplete.
4. Ask the board for: support/resources to finish the segment breakdown, and board awareness of the donation shortfall.
5. Two-week update: (g)no change — donations remain at the August-checked 62 tonnes (down ~18% year over year), no newer ledger check has been run, and the breakdown is still incomplete.(/g)
6. Newsletter: coordinator confirmed (m)no donation figure has been re-checked since the 62-tonne/18%-drop ledger check(/m: donor intake ledger, checked by Agent Brook), and instructed me not to state or imply a more current or resolved figure in any public text.

**Answer to your latest question — newsletter paragraph:**

(m)This August, donations to Riverbend Food Bank totaled 62 tonnes, down from 76 tonnes the same month last year — a decrease of about 18%.(/m: donor intake ledger, checked by Agent Brook) (g)As we move into the winter season, when need is typically highest, we're asking our community to help close this gap — through food donations, financial gifts, or volunteer time.(/g) — based on: assumption (standard call-to-action; not stated in the record).

Note: I kept this to the one checked figure and a general appeal. Per the coordinator's instruction, I did not state or imply that stock, forecast, or readiness status is more current or resolved than what's checked above.
