The holiday season is a time of joy, love, and giving, but for those struggling with food insecurity and homelessness, it can also be a time of added stress and hardship. At The Compass Food Bank & Outreach Centre, our “Spread The Joy” Christmas campaign aims to ease that burden by raising $130,000 this year to bring relief and joy to families and individuals in our community.
Last year, thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we provided 1,290 households with Walmart Gift Cards allowing our clients the dignity of choosing the food they place on their holiday table and the gifts they give their children. This simple gift of choice can make a world of difference, allowing families to create cherished holiday memories.
We invite you to join us in spreading joy this season. Please consider making a financial donation to help us meet our goal. Together, we can bring hope, dignity, and joy to those who need it most.
Ensure our clients have the power to celebrate the holidays in their own way, without the stress of having to make impossible choices. A tax receipt will be provided for monetary donations of $20 or more.
We are a food bank and community outreach centre located in and serving South Mississauga within the postal codes L5E, L5G, L5H and L5J.
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
