Join our Holiday Drive to provide healthy and appropriate food to neighbours facing food insecurity across Mississauga this holiday season.
Help us raise $2 million
Make a gift today! As a network leader of over 60 agency members across Mississauga, your gift goes further than one organization to reach neighbours in need in all corners of the city.
$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.**
- CBC Sounds of the Season
Another way you can brighten the holidays for families in need is with a gift to Food Banks Mississauga through CBC Sounds of the Season. 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 8 for a celebration of community and kindness in support of food banks across the GTA. Visit CBC for more!
