Imagine Salesforce as a large, virtual filing cabinet. Within this filing cabinet, there are many drawers, each representing a different aspect of your organization's data. These drawers are called "objects" in Salesforce.

Each object is like a separate drawer containing a specific type of information. For example, one drawer might hold all the information about your volunteers (the Contact object), while another drawer keeps track of their roles and responsibilities (the Member Status object). The drawers (objects) are organized and labeled to help you find the information you need quickly and easily.

Just like how you might organize folders within a drawer, the objects in Salesforce can be connected and related to one another. For example, you might have a folder in the volunteer drawer (Contact object) for each volunteer, and inside that folder, you could have a sheet of paper that links to the folder in the Member Status drawer, showing the volunteer's role and responsibilities.

In this way, Salesforce objects create a neat and efficient filing system that allows you to access and manage your volunteer information in a user-friendly manner. By understanding the relationships between the different drawers (objects), you can easily navigate and update the data in your virtual filing cabinet.
