In the first 9 months of 2022, The Compass Food Bank and Outreach Centre has supported 3,172 people from 1,389 households, including 645 new households who came to us for help. This includes 958 children between the ages of 0-17 years old, 1,934 adults 18-64 and 280 seniors 65 and older. These statistics represent a 60% increase over the same period in 2021. Today, 1 in every 3 people who come to The Compass needing food are children. 

During the first 9 months of 2022, The Compass has distributed 475,495 lbs of food to our clients. Our hospitality kitchen serves over 1,000 hot meals each week. Last week, we provided food to 542 households. Financial donations enable us to supplement the food we receive from the community and The Mississauga Food Bank. We use it 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 outreach programs. These programs provide an opportunity for our Client Services team to assist our clients and build stronger relationships, as well as providing our clients with a space to socialize. We thank you for your support!
