The Compass Food Bank & Outreach Centre

The Compass is a Food Bank & Outreach Centre which has served south Mississauga since 2002. We are a registered charity with over 250 volunteers who pride themselves on being there when people need us most. We serve those from all walks of life, going through all types of hardships. Our mission is to foster a safe and caring community that builds relationships that support human dignity. Everyone is welcome. Annual Stats 2021: The Compass supported 1,033 households which included 362 new ones. We served 2,451individuals, including 717 children and 239 seniors. The Compass distributed 626,880 pounds of food to people experiencing homelessness and food insecurity in south Mississauga. Thanks to several restaurants and caterers in the community and our own Hope-To-Go program, 36,056 delicious take-away meals were provided to those in need in 2021. More than 250 volunteers donated 32,521 hours of their time to help The Compass meet the needs of our neighbours in need. We are always appreciative of any donations the community can make for our clients benefit, whether that donation is financial, through food donations or as volunteers.
