You’re invited to walk with your family, friends, neighbours, colleagues or anyone else. Start a team or come solo and become part of ours. Whether you raise $20 or $2,000, every dollar counts.
This fundraiser has raised more than $760,000 over the past 20 years.

The start & finish points are at Church of St. Mark – Lutheran at 130 Mineola Rd E, and you can opt between 1 km, 6 km, or 10 km routes.
There’ll be a complimentary BBQ lunch provided by Mario’s BBQ & Grill and free ice cream truck treats.
Plus, high school students can earn volunteer hours.

Across Ontario, food bank use has reached historic levels. Here in Mississauga, 1 in 13 residents now relies on a food bank, a reminder that hunger is no longer someone else's problem.
The Compass Food Bank & Outreach Centre provides healthy groceries to more than 2,000 people every week, with approximately 33% of those being children.

Food insecurity won't disappear overnight and on September 19, there’s an opportunity to make life a little easier for someone else.
