In 2021, The Compass supported 2,451 people from 1,033 households, including 362 new households who came to us for help. This includes 717 children between the ages of 0-17 years old, 1,495 adults 18-64 and 239 seniors 65 and up. An amazing 626,880 lbs of food was distributed to our clients in need during the year, and 30,567 delicious takeaway meals served. At The Compass Food Bank & Outreach Centre we serve an average of 1,030 people per week. We use financial donations to purchase items, often at wholesale prices. It makes a huge difference in the quality of food we have to offer when we add fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, milk and frozen meat to our Market. Donated funds also help support our variety of our outreach programs. These programs provide us with an opportunity to assist our clients and build stronger relationships, as well as providing our clients with a space to socialize. Thank you for your support!
