Together, we provide Help for Today and Hope for Tomorrow

Founded in 2002, The Compass is more than a food bank also offering our services as an outreach centre that serves the community of south Mississauga.  Our vision is to help people of all ages and backgrounds experiencing food insecurity and homelessness. We are here to meet the immediate needs for healthy and nutritious food, encourage the enhancement of life skills, and foster a caring community. We are one of the only food banks in Canada that distributes food on a weekly basis rather than monthly.  

While donations of non-perishable food is always welcome, financial donations have the greatest impact enabling us to quickly respond to the immediate needs of our growing vulnerable community. We served 6,567 individuals in 2023 with 1 in every 3 being a child under the age of 18. 

Please consider making a secure online donation to The Compass Food Bank or by donating securities or sending an e-transfer to treasurer@thecompass.ca

Please include your address and email address to ensure we have the necessary information to send a tax receipt. All information is kept completely confidential and is not shared with anyone else. 

Your help today is greatly appreciated!
