I’m so grateful for you!

I make it a habit of starting my day with gratitude. Especially for the caring people who surround us here at Food Banks Mississauga—people like you.

I hope the stories in this newsletter give you a sense of the difference you’re making in our community. If you want to learn more, I also invite you to take a look at our 2024 Impact Report, hot off the presses! You can find it here.

Here are just a few of the highlights:

Just a few years ago, we were serving 19,000 people every year. Now, almost that many neighbours are relying on us every month.

In the face of food insecurity beyond anything we’ve seen in our lifetime, we just couldn’t be there without you. So, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you for ensuring the almost 16,000 kids who relied on our agency network last year had the healthy food they needed to thrive.

Thank you for ensuring seniors don’t have to choose between turning on the heat, or buying something to eat.

And with Thanksgiving around the corner, thank you for supporting our 2024 Thanksgiving Drive (there’s still time to make a gift!), so we can continue to be there for everyone who will need us in the coming weeks. And a very special thanks to our generous sponsor, Keurig Dr Pepper Canada!

Once more, with feeling! I’m so grateful that you’re part of our Food Banks Mississauga community. When I gather around the table with my loved ones this Thanksgiving, I’ll be giving thanks for you.

Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving,

Meghan Nicholls
Chief Executive Officer
