The Community Food Project Evaluation Toolkit (Toolkit) is a hands-on workbook designed to help
community food project (CFP) staff conduct evaluations of their programs to develop the kind of
information that will be compelling not only to fellow staff but to funders, participants and
community residents. Packed with user-friendly tools as well as guidance for planning and
administration, the Toolkit offers a concentrated blend of general, project-level and system-level
instruments to address the diversity of community food project outputs and outcomes.
The Toolkit is divided into three parts (general evaluation tools, project-level evaluation tools and
system-level evaluation tools) and includes eight distinct chapters. The Table of Contents outlines
in detail the various parts and chapters of the Toolkit and can help the reader find a specific topic or
tool of interest.
