20% of minimum-income households reached indicates the potential scale of a food initiative when it is embedded in the neighbourhood and connected to existing social networks. Reach matters because food insecurity is often partly hidden and not every household enters formal support routes.
In the food-initiative SCBA, reach is a key assumption for social value. The impact grows when initiatives are accessible, trusted and visible to the households that need them most. That requires stable locations, referral routes, outreach and cooperation with community partners.
