This Ramadan is shaping up to be like no other due to the COVID 19 pandemic.

At a press conference today at City Hall, Paramount Fine Foods CEO Mohamad Fakih and Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie announced the #MississaugaChallenge to raise funds for The Mississauga Food Bank during the COVID-19 crisis.

Toronto, ON – April 6, 2020 – Second Harvest’s FoodRescue.ca is launching $4.5 million in new funding for communities.

Food banks and local food organizations provide help to Canadians across the country, particularly people and communities most vulnerable to economic uncertainty. These organizations are facing an increased demand for their services, and added pressure from shortages in donations and volunteers. Now more than ever, they need our support to continue offering the services Canadians rely on to feel safe and healthy.
