“Watching the TruGreen fundraiser unfold was incredible! Seeing their teams doing so well and the donations pouring in was more than just about the money. It felt like we were all working together, sharing our commitment to helping those who need it most. It was so exciting and made me really proud to know that every dollar donated was a sign of someone’s kindness and support for our cause. It reminded me how amazing it is when we all come together to make a difference.”

Sheila Casey, HR / AP Manager at TruGreen

“I wanted to fundraise for Food Banks Mississauga to bring awareness to local food insecurity within our community. As you all know we have all gone through a lot in the last couple of years, like COVID, personal hardships, and now within our community inflation has caused an increase of food insecurity. This campaign was called Create for Change. I believe we are the creators of our future. We are the future generation. And we are the change and inspiration that the community needs to overcome this growing hunger crisis.”

Henna, Hunger Warrior

“I am currently a grade 12 student at [a school in Mississauga]. This past summer, I decided to give back to my community by volunteering as a food sorter at Food Banks Mississauga. I had heard about the organization through my school. I was excited to help in any way that I could. Once I signed up for several volunteer shifts, I was surprised when some were canceled due to food shortages. Knowing that there were many families in Mississauga who relied on Food Banks Mississauga for food, I decided to help raise awareness of the importance of food donations."

Christian, Hunger Warrior
