SROI ANALYSIS
Our in-house research team has conducted a Social Return on Investment (SROI) analysis that shows the secondary impacts of our Emergency Food Hamper program.
“When I picked up my generous hamper last Tuesday, I was almost out of money with no job prospects. A message on my answering machine at home let me know I had a temp job starting the following Monday. It’s been a good week, thanks in part to plenty of food in the fridge and cupboard. Than you all for being a wonderful encouragement to me and making a big difference in my life.”
