How Efficiently do They Use the Money They Make

# data[].attributes.body
I think that The Scott Mission uses their money quite efficiently. This is because 86% ($13,751,656) of their money goes towards their programs and activities to help people while only 6% ($881,057) of their money goes to management of the charity. This shows that most of their efforts go towards making high quality programs. The Scott Mission has a surplus 1,315,000, even though that is not exactly wanted. This surplus shows that there are places that they can use their money in, like fundraising. In conclusion, although there are small aspects that The Scott Mission can work on, I believe that The Scott Mission uses their money effectively.

Ability to Meet its Goals and Serve its Clients

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I believe that the Scott Mission is able to meet its goals and serve its clients. This is because this charity is able to provide people with basic necessities and a safe place to stay.

In 2017 The Scott Mission gave 95,000 hot meals,and 26,000 groceries. On top of that, they have 64 beds for those who need a place to stay.

In 2018 The Scott Mission has also helped many people including Katalin, and Vale who had their stories on The Scott Mission website.

Katalin came to The Scott Mission was able to get snowsuits for her two children.

“Our life has changed since I’ve been coming to the Mission for food and also for clothes. It’s a really big help,” Katalin says.

Vale, was homeless and hungry on the streets when he first came to the Scott Mission. He was provided with shelter, food, and lots of support from the people working.

“I wondered, ‘Are these people really this supportive? How can I be so fortunate to be here?’” Vale recalls.

By reading the experiences from just these two people, you can see that The Scott Mission serves its clients with care and is able to meet their goals.

The people always had a wonderful experience. From reading all the different stories I can conclude that The Scott Mission has high quality programs.

The Scott Mission was founded in 1941 by Morris and Annie Zeidman.  When Rev. Scott died, the synagogue was renamed as the Scott Institute. Morris became the superintendent and devoted his time towards the church and people in dire situations. Before the creation of The Scott Mission, the two dedicated their time to help the people in need with the Scott Institute’s Soup kitchen from the 1920s to 1930s. Morris decided to resign from the church to the start the Scott Mission at 724-726 Bay St. in 1941, so that he can continue to help those in need. (later moved to 502 Spadina Ave. after getting more money) Morris and Annie continued helping with the Scott Mission until their deaths (Morris-1964, Annie- 1992). The Scott Mission is constantly helping those in needs even today.
