Moisson Montréal happy with 2018
Moisson Montréal, the city’s biggest food bank, feels it did a good job in 2018 even though it had to give out 2,000 more Christmas baskets than in 2017.

How do you truly measure success of a food bank? It’s definitely not by how many baskets you hand out… that’s the mark of the failure of our system to care for these people. Even the number of people who didn’t get a basket is a mark of the failure of our system. Maybe the efficiency in use of the money they collected? How many baskets that feed x meals (500 calorie meals) to y people they were able to provide with the money they managed to collect.
In any case, these food banks are homeless shelters are really doing fantastic work and deserve our help.

I imagine the main number would be what percentage of requests you were able to fulfill.

The number of requests isn’t under their control. And if they cut down the food in the baskets and give people less food, they may fulfill requests that aren’t satisfying enough. Even the cost of food isn’t under their control.
