quota

Anna arrived at the community pantry before dawn to inspect the latest delivery and update the inventory ledger . She needed to ensure each household's allocation adhered to the monthly quota imposed by the board , which sought to allocate scarce items equitably . Because donor contributions fluctuated unpredictably , Anna implemented modest adjustments to the distribution schedule and briefed volunteers to prevent potential shortages .
