We are pleased to announce that the Mississauga Senators Minor Atom AAA Hockey Team REALLY exceeded their goal, and raised a total of 3000 pounds of food. Way to go guys!

~~

We are always so pleased when groups of people raise food on our behalf. Over the last 23 years, The Mississauga Food Bank has received almost 100% of our food by donations from corporations and the general public. It’s great to see neighbours helping neighbours!

A great story came across my desk that I thought I’d share with you. The Mississauga Senators Minor Atom AAA Hockey Team decided to do a food drive on our behalf and came up with a fantastic goal – the total body weight of all their players! So their goal is 1036 lbs of food, and we can’t wait to see if they beat their goal!

Players will be out collecting non-perishable food items this Saturday, so if a Senators hockey player knocks on your door asking for food, help him bring in his body weight in food!

We will post a photo as soon as we have them, and let you know the total amount of food raised. Thanks Senators!!
