Food Bank
Our founders opened the first MWC food bank in 1993. For 30 years, thousands of families accessed essential foods to support their loved ones in times of need.

Muslim Welfare Canada’s Food Banks have been a beacon of hope since 1993, addressing the pressing issue of food insecurity faced by over 850,000 Canadians monthly.
Initiated by visionary founders, the first MWC food bank marked a significant community milestone. Over 30 years, their impact has magnified, expanding to serve thousands across four cities: Mississauga, Scarborough, Inuvik, and Iqaluit.
Beyond providing essential perishable and non-perishable food items, they offer household essentials, clothing, footwear, and winter gear.
This year, a testament to their indispensable role, they welcomed over 35,000 visits.
