Thanksgiving Drive

Sept 14 - Oct 16, 2026

Everyone deserves to gather around a full Thanksgiving table. But for over 43,000 neighbours, that won’t be possible without you. Join our Thanksgiving Drive today!

Help us raise $900,000

For every $1 you give to our Thanksgiving Drive, we can provide $4 worth of food to your neighbours who are struggling to put food on the table. That means $50 provides $200 worth of food!

1 in 17 Mississauga residents use a food bank

As the system behind the citywide network of food programs, your gift goes beyond one organization. In this season of thankfulness, show your gratitude by giving back to those in need around us.

Get Involved

Your neighbours made over half a million visits to a food bank last year. Here are more ways for you to support them this Thanksgiving!

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 turn every $1 donated into $4 worth of food, 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.
