We are pleased that the Community Foundation of Mississauga is participating in the national Vital Signs® program. We encourage you to read the report as it provides an excellent overview of some of the challenges Mississauga is facing.

Mississauga’s Vital Signs is a check-up that measures the vitality of our city in ten key issue areas. The report is a compilation of data from numerous sources, much of it local, presented in a reader-friendly format. The report helps our community identify where we are doing well and where we want to direct additional resources. Twenty-two community foundations across Canada are participating in the Vital Signs program this year, all coordinated by the national membership organization, Community Foundations of Canada.

Your donations ensure your neighbours don’t go hungry this Fall.

For every $1 you give, we are able to distribute $7.50 worth of food!

Help us reach our goal of $50,000 and 135,000 lbs of food!

• Watch for the bag at your local grocery store. Fill it up with non-perishable food and drop it off at your local fire hall, grocery store or at The Mississauga Food Bank.

 

• Organize a food drive at your office, school or place of worship. You can register your drive and get some tips for running a great campaign at www.mississaugafooddrive.org.

 

• Download food drive posters and hang them up in your school, condo building, community centre or place of business. This will help to raise awareness about hunger and help raise food to feed our hungry neighbours. You can find them at www.mississaugafooddrive.org.
