In 2022, The Compass Food Bank and Outreach Centre had supported 4,033 people from 1,794 households, including 1,005 new households who came to us for help. This includes 1,180 children between the ages of 0-17 years old, 2,521 adults 18-64 and 332 seniors 65 and older. Compared to 2021, that’s an increase of 65% individuals supported, 74% increase in households and 178% increase in new households. Today, 1 in every 3 people who come to The Compass needing food are children. 

In 2022, The Compass distributed 705,278 lbs of food to our clients. Our hospitality kitchen served over 39,394 hot meals.  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!
