Food Bank and Cafeteria

Goal: To make sure 100% of the Montreal Jewish Community that is living below the poverty line is provided with food:

Calculation: Jewish members / Montreal Jews living below the poverty line

2017 4,870 / 18,130 = 27%
2018 5,622 / 18,130 = 31%

Goal for 2019 = 35%
Goal for 2020 = 40%

Goal for 2030 = 100%

Shabbat to Share

Goal: To make sure 100% of the Montreal Senior Jewish Community are provided with weekly Shabbat to Share boxes:

Calculation: Shabbat to Share recipients / Montreal Jewish Seniors living below the poverty line as per the 2011 National Household Survey Analysis of The Jewish Community of Montreal

2017 670 / 3165 = 21%
2018 700 / 3165 = 22%

Goal for 2019 = 25%
Goal for 2020 = 30%

Goal for 2030 = 100%

Furniture

Our ultimate goal is that any request for furniture can be filled within 2 weeks so that no person or family is lacking what they need.

Clothing

The outcome is that no person below the poverty line should be lacking clothes. We feel we have reached this goal over the past 2 years with our used clothing store fully stocked and giveaways throughout the year of new and used clothes. Our long term goal is to maintain this.
