Meadowvale Village Food Drive

Let's hope it doesn't rain over the weekend as our Easter Food drive starts at 11am on Saturday March 20th until March 21st. Whether it's raining or snowing we're going to be collecting food door to door. All food collected will be donated to the Mississauga Food Bank.

If you would like to volunteer contact Rashna. Community hours are available for high school students. It's a rewarding experience to give back to our community and a great experience for the children.

It's quite a challenge to organize the food drive, however, with family and volunteer support, we manage to have a tremendously successful food drive each time. We tackle 1500 homes in Meadowvale Village. It all began in December 2004 with our Xmas Food Drive. I visited the food bank at the time to advise them of our food drive and I was shocked how many were there to pick up food. I decided to organize the food drive for Xmas, Easter and Thanksgiving. It's only three weekends a year of volunteering and it's a cause that is very dear to me.

I look forward to this experience each time and watch the children who started volunteering in 2004 continue helping with the food drive and the amazing transformation from being extremely timid in knocking on doors and making new friends to being role models to the younger children. These children are amazing. Full of energy, willing to help and never complaining if it's too cold in our December food drive.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our Meadowvale Village Food Drive a huge success year after year.
