With your support, we operate a wide range of unique programs to ensure we meet neighbours where they need support the most.
The Food Bank 2 Home Delivery Program brings custom orders of healthy, fresh and shelf-stable food directly to homebound neighbours with mobility restrictions, who have a physical disability or short/long-term illness and who don’t live with a household member who can visit a food bank on their behalf.
The ReclaimFRESH Food Rescue Program works with local farmers, wholesalers, producers, and grocery stores to rescue and rehome surplus edible food. Through this program, we’re able to provide our agency members in all corners of Mississauga with continuous access to fresh fruit, vegetables, bread and more.
The Income Tax Filing Clinic is a volunteer-run program that helps low-income households file their taxes. This support enables neighbours in need to receive tax benefits that provide much-needed funds they wouldn’t have received without the resources to file their tax returns.

What is food insecurity?
Food insecurity means not having enough money or financial resources to consistently access nutritious food. It can range from making your portion sizes smaller so groceries last longer, to not being able to afford fresh fruits and vegetables at the grocery store so you are forced to buy less nutritious alternatives, to the worst-case scenario, where you skip meals altogether. Food Banks Mississauga helps address immediate food needs while working toward a more food-secure Mississauga.

Will people who donate to my fundraiser receive tax receipts?
