$1 = food for 1 meal

Make a gift today and help raise $2 million to provide food for 2 million meals! Your monetary donations enable us to source and purchase fresh and frozen foods such as dairy, meat, grains and fruit and vegetables in bulk and at prices lower than retail.

  • Host an In-Person Food Drive

    This holiday season, give fresh food and hope to your neighbours facing food insecurity by organizing a food drive to collect our urgently and most needed items! It’s a great way to show your gratitude with your loved ones, neighbours, co-workers, and school or classroom! While we can do the most with your monetary donations and make every dollar stretch, we happily welcome your donations of shelf-stable food and personal care products.

    You can drop off donations at our warehouse (4544 Eastgate Parkway) or at any local Mississauga fire station. If you haven’t registered your food drive, please make sure to fill out this form and bring it with you when you drop off donations at our warehouse!

    **Please note, fire stations #102 and #108 are closed for renovation. Do not drop off donations there.**

You can participate by signing up for the School Challenge and making a monetary gift today!
