Host an In-Person Food Drive
Organize a food drive to collect our urgently and most needed items to support your neighbours in need! It’s a great way to show your gratitude this Thanksgiving 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. (Please note, fire station #102 is closed for renovation. Do not drop off donations there.)
