Our vision is a Mississauga where everyone is food secure.
Your legacy can make a difference for years to come
Your gift will help address food security today and for years to come, transforming lives along the way. If you’ve already left a gift in your will, please fill out our Gift Confirmation form.
A gift in your will is more than a donation
It’s a way for your generosity, compassion, and love for your community to live on. You can leave any amount – either a fixed amount or a percentage of your estate – to Food Banks Mississauga. We’re happy to provide you with some sample language.

Questions?
We’re here to help! Check out our FAQ for more information on legacy giving.
- Why should I consider leaving a gift in my will?
Leaving a charitable gift in your will allows you to support causes you care about even after you’re gone. It’s a meaningful way to leave a lasting impact on organizations and communities that matter to you.
- Do I need to redo my entire will to add a gift to Food Banks Mississauga?
Luckily, no, you don’t need to redo your entire will. You can include Food Banks Mississauga by using a simple legal clause called a codicil. Alternatively, you can also add us to your will the next time you update it.
- Will leaving a gift in my will affect my estate taxes?
Yes, leaving a charitable gift in your will can reduce the amount of estate taxes your estate owes. The value of your gift is deducted from your estate before taxes are calculated, potentially lowering the overall tax burden.
- Can I change my mind after including a gift in my will?
Yes, charitable gifts in wills are revocable, meaning you can update or change your will at any time. This flexibility allows you to adjust your charitable giving as your circumstances or charitable interests evolve.
Food Banks Mississauga strongly recommends you seek professional financial and legal advice to ensure your financial goals are considered, your tax situation is reviewed, and your estate gift is tailored to your circumstances.
