IMPORTANT UPDATE

Supporting The Compass Food Bank During the Postal Disruption

Dear Compass Supporters,

As you may know, the ongoing Canada-wide postal strike has disrupted mail services, creating challenges for individuals and organizations nationwide.

For The Compass Food Bank & Outreach Centre, this disruption is especially concerning as we enter a crucial season for our “Spread The Joy” Christmas Campaign, Giving Tuesday, and End-of-Year Giving Campaigns. These initiatives are vital to funding essential programs and services that provide groceries, hot meals, and outreach to thousands of neighbors experiencing food insecurity and homelessness.

If you typically send your donations by cheque, we kindly ask you to consider making your donation online or over the phone instead.

Phone Donations
You can also donate by phone by calling us at 905-274-9309, and a member of our team will be happy to assist you.

Tax Receipts
Tax receipts are issued immediately for donations made online. Donations made over the phone are issued in February 2025. 

Your generosity allows us to continue providing vital support to those who need it most. Thank you for standing with us during this challenging time.

 

With gratitude,

The Compass Food Bank & Outreach Centre
