About Food Banks Mississauga

Overview

Food Banks Mississauga is the backbone system behind Mississauga’s food banks. Founded in 1986, we source, store and move almost 12 million pounds of food a year from a distribution centre that empties and refills every month, and we ensure it reaches the right community through 60+ neighbourhood food programs. 
We run the systems that allocate food fairly across the city, set and support the standards those programs work to, and advocate for people living in poverty in Mississauga. 
The programs serve their neighbours. We are the reason they can.

Mission

We lead our agency network to realize a food-secure Mississauga by providing and 
promoting access to healthy and appropriate food.

Vision

A Mississauga Where Everyone is Food Secure

Values

Respect For All: We honour each member of our community as their whole selves. We treat others the way we want to be treated, with dignity and consideration.
Collaborative Leadership: We step into our leadership and use our position to bring agency members together to share with each other, understand, and take action for the community we serve.
Bold Mindset: We are forward-thinking and use innovation to challenge what's possible. We seek to constantly grow, adapt our thinking, and take action to progress toward achieving our vision.
Integrity First: We seek to continuously learn, apply knowledge, and act morally. We lead with transparency… We take accountability for our personal behaviour.







Unique value proposition

There is one system supplying food assistance across Mississauga, and this is it. 
Funding Food Banks Mississauga is not funding one program. It is funding the allocation system, the standards, and the food supply that more than sixty neighbourhood programs depend on. Fund the hub, and you reach every postal code.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about getting started.

How does WellFunded work?

Donor-advised funds, wealth advisors and foundations use WellFunded to find, research and fund Canadian charities. Instead of rewriting the same proposal for every funder, you complete one profile and it's ready for all of them. Fill in a few short sections and upload your annual report, and we'll turn it into an impact page funders can find by cause, location and program.

Do I need to apply for funding?

No. Funders search WellFunded for charities that match what they want to support, and your profile is what they find. When a funder wants to know more, you'll hear from us. Some funders also post Giving Opportunities for a specific focus, and you can respond to those with the profile you've already built.

What does it cost?

WellFunded is free for charities. We don't charge transaction fees, and we never take a cut of any gift. Funders pay to use the platform.

Who sees my profile?

Donor-advised funds, advisors and foundations using WellFunded to research charities. Together they manage over $2.3B in charitable assets. WellFunded isn't open to the general public.

What is a WellCheck?

When a funder is seriously considering your charity, they may ask for a WellCheck. It's a short set of questions plus a few documents, reviewed alongside your audited financials and CRA filings. We present findings, not verdicts: no scores and no rankings. Do it once, and it's ready for every funder who asks after that.

Is my information secure?

Yes. Your data stays in Canada, and we never sell it. See our privacy policy for details.

Is this legitimate?

WellFunded is a Canadian company, built in B.C. by the team behind one of Canada's first online donor-advised funds. If you'd like to meet us first, book a small group session with Jeff, our co-founder and CEO.
