Walk The Walk: Support The Compass Community

Save the date: 19th Annual Walk the Walk for The Compass Food Bank will be on Saturday, September 20th, 2025.

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.

Why Walk?

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.

Event Highlights

Be Part of the Movement

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.

How You Can Get Involved
