- 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.**
- CBC Make the Season Kind
Another way you can brighten the holidays for families in need is with a gift to Food Banks Mississauga through CBC Make the Season Kind. You can participate by signing up for the School Challenge and making a monetary gift today! Plus, tune into special CBC Toronto programming on December 6 for a celebration of community and kindness in support of food banks across the GTA. Visit CBC for more!
