I would start with introducing our committee, and what our goals are. Explain how we try to form stronger characters by helping others, exercising our leadership skills for the progress of other people who due to their circumstances or situations (though this is unfair) cannot meet their own needs. Explain our mission statement, “We are dedicated to promoting change, increasing awareness, and investing into people’s lives to build a stronger, safer community.”

Here, I would go into how we got the food truck idea, explain also, what we plan to do, and who is involved in it.
WHO?WHAT? WHERE?WHEN?WHY?

By the way, feel free to edit this as you please. I put this in because I feel that we need to clearly explain who we are targeting, what we want to do, and provide details of where this will happen and when. In addition, we may want to include the "why" though this might be repetative because you've mentioned that with the first two slides. I don't know, it's up to you if you want to keep it, or delete it, or change it.

Oh and, I don't know if I would mention the $500 from Mr. Bruce. It wouldn't hurt to, because it still does not help us reach our goal that quickly, considering we need $5,000, but that money was for the committee and not specifically towards this project only, according to Ms. Do.
What will the less fortunate gain from this?■ Given your support, we can ensure that these people’s physical needs
are met– A healthy meal– Hygiene products– A backpack for their belongings
■ Also, we purpose to ensure that the following needs are met– Having someone to listen to them– Knowledge that others care about them
■ Finally, this project will teach us– Working for the good of others is worth it!– We must share our blessings with others!
QUESTIONS

Within the email, she says that the questions will be easy and they will be things that an advisor from their foundation will go over with you before, so, this is quite simple.
