Evaluation of Nova Scotia’s Collaborative Food Networks_Glace Bay Town House

Glace Bay Citizen’s Service League – Town House is working to address an issue that impacts many communities: food insecurity. While they’ve made great strides in helping people access food through programs like community meals, cooking classes, and a social supermarket, there’s a need to go further. Food insecurity is more than just a lack of food—it’s tied to people’s dignity, health, and sense of belonging in the community. The challenge is to evaluate how well these programs are working to meet those deeper needs. Are they truly helping to reduce food insecurity? Are they fostering stronger social connections and promoting dignity for those who participate?
This evaluation project will help the Glace Bay Town House assess the effectiveness of its programs, identify areas for improvement, and find ways to serve the community in the long term better. The project requires someone who can develop an evaluation plan, and collect and analyze quantitative and qualitative data, engage with the community, and provide insights that go beyond just numbers. The evaluation will ensure that these programs continue to meet the evolving needs of the community, while also providing valuable recommendations for future growth
