Walk the Walk for The Compass

On September 19th, 2026 we will come together at Church of St. Mark in Mineola – and from across the globe – to Walk the Walk for The Compass Food Bank & Outreach Centre.

Participants in the past have joined us in person and virtually from as far as British Columbia, Malta, Portugal, England, and Nova Scotia, reminding us that compassion knows no boundaries.

We are grateful for the Church of St. Mark for their continued support and for opening their beautiful grounds to us year after year. 

Why Walk?

Every step taken helps us purchase essential food and hygiene items for those in need. Our goal this year was to raise $200,000, which will provide crucial support to the 2,000 individuals—1 in 3 are children—who rely on The Compass Food Bank each week.
