Update Project Profile: Spare (Description and Status) #8864

Open

Description

@Tomlu60220244

Overview

We need to update the Spare project profile on the Hack for LA website to reflect its closed status and revised description.

Action Items

  • Open _projects/spare.md.
  • Review the existing YAML front matter.
  • Replace the current description value.

Current description:

A fun new project project that connects people in need of clothing and other essentials with people in the community who have things to spare. It's kind of like one on one Goodwill. The main objective is to foster interactions between the housed and unhoused. The donation is the mechanism for building these connections throughout our community.

New description (copied from #8752):

The Spare project was designed to explore the viability building a software application to connect people in need of clothing and other essentials with community members who have items to give. The software application would have facilitated direct, one-on-one exchanges to foster connections between housed and unhoused community members.

  • Change status: On Hold to status: Closed.
  • Preserve all other project information.
  • Verify the updated description and status on the Spare project page in the local development environment.
  • Check the Projects page to confirm that Spare is displayed with the correct Closed status.
  • Include verification screenshots in the PR.

Resources / Instructions

Acceptance Criteria

  • The Spare description matches the approved wording in Update Project Profile: Spare #8752.
  • The project status is Closed.
  • The project information displays correctly in the local development environment.
  • No unrelated project fields are modified.

Note for Merge Team

The proposed description is copied verbatim from #8752. Please confirm whether "viability building" should be changed to "viability of building" before implementation.
