Frequently Asked Questions about Measurement, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL)
When you hear the word Evaluation, you may think about a specific survey to measure outcomes and show impact for a specific program. While this is one form of evaluation, the MEL (Measurement, Evaluation, and Learning) approach describes more ways to learn about neighbors and programs. Any time you are collecting insights and observations and using them to address problems and improve services, you are engaging in MEL activities.
Even if you don’t have a Research department at your food bank, there are many ways for staff to become involved with MEL.

Addressing Senior Hunger Through Older Americans Act Services and SNAP – A State Story
Historically, anti-hunger programs have engendered bipartisan support. That has become more challenging in today’s more polarized political environment. Given the need to have more moderate and conservative voices championing anti-hunger issues, and the need for less partisanship on hunger issues, both sides of the aisle must work together in support of program priorities that have a shot at becoming law. Polling reflects this wide bipartisan support for nutrition and anti-hunger programs. Elected officials need to be more responsive to these concerns.
