Our vision is a Mississauga where everyone is food secure.
Strategic Plan
Guiding our work to provide food to our neighbours today while we advocate for policy change to address the root causes of food insecurity for tomorrow.
Food banks were meant to be a temporary emergency support, not a replacement for government social assistance programs. But almost 40 years after Food Banks Mississauga was founded, we face a growing crisis. Mississauga has experienced the fastest increase in food bank usage in all of Canada and our 2024-2027 strategic plan guides our work as we meet this tidal wave of need. - Meghan Nicholls, CEO
