How does the NYHFB benefit the community?

# data[].attributes.body
The North York Harvest Food Bank benefits the community greatly as they successfully collect and distribute food to those in need on a daily basis. The workers and volunteers at the NYHFB are constantly at work to end hunger in Toronto, this is seen as their organizations’ trucks are out and about delivering and picking up food day to day. When the NYFHB picks up food with their trucks, they are brought to its distribution centre where the food is sorted, and stored. After this, the food is delivered to the needy through 75+ different community programs.

How efficiently do they use the money they make?

# data[].attributes.body
I strongly feel that the NYHFB uses their revenue from donors and sponsors very efficiently, as they dedicate 67% of their revenue ($ 1.2 million) towards charitable programs; essentially the money they use to help people. Less than 10% of the organizations revenue is committed towards administration e.g wages. Administration costs are about $140,000. The remaining revenue is used towards fundraising (about 25%) as without fundraising and advertising, the organization would not be receiving any donations, and would essentially render the foodbank useless.

# data[].attributes.body
The NYHFB completes its tasks and exceeds goals because of its extensive range of staff and high levels of donations. Workers and volunteers understand the importance of their roles and strive to ensure that hunger is eradicated among northern Toronto. This organization helped roughly 160,000 people in their 2015-2016 operating season.

For a fairly upscale neighbourhood like North York, 160,000 people being helped with their food needs is truly a sign that we do not know the situations of other people.

The NYHFB serves more than 15,000 people every month , by supplying food to neighborhood food banks, after-school programs , youth and women shelters, community kitchensetc.

The NYHFB is a great program and the people of northern Toronto are lucky to be in this organizations community.

The amount of partners associated with the organization (7) is quite astounding as they are all established companies and programs, this is evidence that the NYHFB is a great program, as if it were not they would no longer have the amount of partners as they currently do.

Almost 70% of this charities expenses are used for the food program, which is more than 2/3rds of their expenses, which is proof that they care greatly of the quality of their programs and food distribution.

The charity also has a 4.6/5 rating on google, proof that real people do believe this is a great program.
