Notes on outputs, outcomes and targets
1Client and food bank use numbers are based on Link2Feed data from across The Cambridge Food Bank locations.
2After successfully running the Mobile Food Market program since 2021, our goal in future years is to offer pop-up markets in several key high-priority neighbourhoods in order to further expand service coverage throughout Cambridge & North Dumfries. We are also working on a project to have our baskets delivered to seniors in need.
3Wellness program numbers are based on manual tracking in Excel data forms. Outcomes are gathered by staff through yearly surveys at the end of each program session.
4Garden program numbers are based Sumac data as input by staff of the Cambridge Food Bank. Community Gardens are gardens that were specifically set up for the Cambridge Food Bank. Donor Gardens are individual household gardens.
"We believe that access to nutritious food is a basic and fundamental human right. "
