FEEDING SAN DIEGO - SAN DIEGO, CA

EVALUATION OF AGENCY PARTNER NETWORK AND INTERNAL ASSESSMENT TOWARDS ENDING HUNGER IN THE SERVICE REGION

EVALUATION, STRATEGIC PLANNING | 2022

Feeding San Diego (FSD), a Feeding America organization, partnered with Food Works Group (FWG) to conduct an evaluation of the effectiveness, gaps, and opportunities of their agency partner network, as well as an internal assessment to determine how the FSD partnership team could increase their impact. FWG facilitated on-site internal and external agency partner focus groups and exercises to hone in on key recommendations and areas for focus, and to take a close examination of the geographic footprint of FSD regional service areas. These assessments were a foundational step toward FSD’s commitment to ending hunger in their service region through an informed, tech-forward, data-driven approach. FWG assessed agency partner capacity and needs, evaluated internal FSD staff resources, and liaised with the Feeding America National Organization (FANO) to recommend tech-driven best practices and new solutions for enhanced agency partner support.
