Hosting a food drive is a community-driven way to support individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. Help fill The Compass Food Bank shelves so no one goes hungry.

Register below to host a food drive or contact us at info@thecompass.ca so we can work together to help you make your food drive a success.

Thank you for supporting The Compass Food Bank and supporting your community.

The Compass Food Bank provides healthy and nutritious groceries to over 2,200 individuals each week.

1 in 3 individuals who rely on The Compass for food are children.

“The rapid rate of inflation, coupled with rising rental costs, is driving people who were already living precariously close to the edge, off that edge.”
