Join us on Saturday, September 20th, 2025, for the 19th Annual Walk The Walk for The Compass Food Bank & Outreach Centre—a fun-filled, community-driven event that makes a real impact in the lives of individuals and families experiencing food insecurity in south Mississauga. Whether you choose to walk, run, or cycle a 1km, 6km, or 10km route, you’ll be moving with purpose through the beautiful treed neighborhoods and waterfront of south Mississauga.
Every step taken helps us purchase essential food and hygiene items for those in need. Our goal this year is to raise $150,000, which will provide crucial support to the 2,200 individuals—including 725 children—who rely on The Compass Food Bank each week.
Last year, over 300 participants joined us—ranging from toddlers in strollers to seniors in their 80s—and we raised an incredible $176,000, covering seven weeks of food for our clients. This year, we’re aiming to continue that momentum and invite you to be a part of it! Dogs on leashes are welcome.
Let’s walk together to support our community! Stay tuned for registration details coming soon.

Every step matters. Every dollar counts. See you on September 20th!
