The Mississauga Food Bank Review

The Mississauga food bank is an excellent place to volunteer. The opportunities are varied, it's easy to sign up for shifts and the staff are very friendly.

Great place to volunteer everybody is nice and helpfull

They are all very nice people. They gave us food based on the number of our family. Especially the lady who attended to us. Thank you to all the team.

This is a well run organization that's sorely needed in this environment. Thanks for the good work!

I love the fact that they offer tours to groups showing off their aquaponics vegetable farm.

A place with a mission that no one go hungry in Mississauga. Volunteering at this place makes me feel happy and a sense of satisfaction of serving the society. I have seen how TMFB is helping those in need through various means even during the COVID-19 pandemic. The staff and volunteers are very friendly and happy to help.

It was a privilege to help out here and to understand the necessities for our community.

They treat you with respect and kindness during stress moments.

Great place to volunteer! Really learned a lot and the workers there are so friendly/helpful.

Love to help out when I can. Everyone is really nice and dedicated to getting the job done ( food sorting or whatever is assigned.)

One of my favourite places to donate. I've donated with other orgs before and received slew of marketing mail from other NGOs (environmental orgs I'm looking at you for re-selling my data!) I've only received mail from Mississauga Food Banks which is great. I really love how they can stretch a dollar to feed more people and I know there's an immediate impact to the community around me. Looks like it's also a great place to volunteer which I'll be looking into in the future.

This is a donation place who receive the food that people do not need but can use, then they will share for everyone who needs. Inside, they grow up their own plants to supply for donation. People here are friendly and kind. Amazing place.

Great staff. Very welcoming. The crew leads were very pleasant. Definetly a fun and rewarding experience.

Unlike some non profits which offer only value added but not essential services for their own employment, food banks really help the community by offering real goods to people in need. Then Missisaauga food bank is one of the best out there that takes care of its community.

For the not so positive comments about expired food, we need to understand that food banks run on donations and have to deal with storage and logistics, the onus lies on the receiver to check if the food is in good condition. Actually many dry food items are eligible way past expiry dates.

For people who complain, let me ask - would you prefer fundings to go to those non profits that pay their executive team millions of dollars a year? Or to employment services that the consultants get good pay to help you get minimum wage job? Not all non profits deserve praises. We should at least be grateful that food banks are there to help so no one in our neighborhood will go hungry!

This is a great charity which helps people who are not able to afford full meals. Went their as a volunteer

Great place that accept donations and give it to other food banks in the area. They do have emergency boxes ready for anyone who need food. All are welcome, it s a walk in service, so you don t need an appointment. Keep up the great work for the community . God bless you.

I'm a huge supported of this organization - $1 in donation apparently distributes $7 worth of food!

Absolutely in love with this organization! Just lately got to go and help out a little. Everything was very well organized and the whole system works as a wonder. Great team of people!

This food bank is well organized and run. The staff are super nice. I took donations their multiple times during covid and each time was a good experience.

I only saw the drop-off area at the back, but it's clean and seems to be well organized.

The initiative is very good and beneficial , unfortunately I have received foods expired as far back as 3yrs prior.
This is helping and killing us at the same time .
This was sad because I believed in the initiative , therefore I never checked other produce until I saw the 2017 expired rice . This was not just a singular occurence as many of produce received had similar issues .

Nobody realizes how much this food bank contributes to hunger around Canada and they also grow their own food as well

It's a great feeling that we can help other that have no food

They are very friendly and no matter who you are they help as much as possible, so Thank you to everyone working or volunteering there for their services and kind greetings. Unlike some people in other food banks they don't embarrass you in this pandemic for approaching them temporarily. So Thaanks a loooooot for even helping those people who used to donate before but are in need themselves now.

When I volunteered, thru had just began a small fish farming station.

I wasn't expecting what I received as I live alone, but I'm thankful for what I was given! Potatoes, broccoli, eggs, two packages of pasta, instant oatmeal, yogurt, a lot of milk, sour cherry jam, real meat, apples, small snacking tomatoes, six cans of tuna and five cans of mixed beans. Going to go on the Internet to find the recipie for Jamacian beans and rice.

With warmest regards,
Pauline
