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.

-
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.
-
Should I let Food Banks Mississauga know about my plans?
While it is totally up to you, we would love the opportunity to thank you for your incredible generosity, learn what inspired your decision, and ensure we understand any wishes you have for your gift. You can fill out our Gift Confirmation Form and email it to Kimberley Soulière, Director of Development, at ksouliere@foodbanksmississauga.ca.
