This scoresheet is intended to help you evaluate your food pantry’s current practices, and identify possible areas for improvement. Your pantry will be scored according to nine criteria. These scores are then added together to produce an overall score. Pantries with higher scores generally serve clients better and operate more efficiently than those with lower scores.
If you are not happy with your pantry’s score, please go back through the score sheet indicating what practices should be changed, and then add these scores together to see how easy it is to improve the pantry's effectiveness.
