Grocery Runs

Grocery runs are a monthly event where we gather as a group, head to a grocery store, and purchase items of most needed food for the local food bank. Feel free to join us or create your own runs and let us know about it!

We shop at various grocery stores in Mississauga on Saturdays. Our donations are dropped off at a local fire hall to benefit The Mississauga Food Bank.

See you on our next run!
