Founded in 2009, 'Twas The Bite Before Christmas comes together each year with Mississauga communities to make a difference because fighting hunger is our biggest priority, feeding hope is what we give to those in need and empowering people in need is the legacy we hope to leave behind.

Fight Hunger, Feed Hope and Empower People In Need

Our 2023 Year In Review…

As we begin planning our 2024 events, the ‘Twas The Bite Before Christmas team would like to sincerely thank you for the ongoing support.

Every day, there are Mississauga residents who must choose between basic needs. But, with the continuing support and generosity, we have the power to truly make a difference in people’s lives and get them food, support and nourishment they so badly need.

Last year alone, through a serious of events, a noteworthy $90,000 was raise along with truckloads of food collected and delivered to homes in need. Your contribution also helped make it possible for our team to purchase and distribute 200 sleeping bags, as well as nutritious meals and funds raised for local food banks, pantries, meal & snack programs, and other emergency food programs.

On behalf of our entire team, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion and generosity – and most of all - helping hungry neighbours.

Sincerely, 'Twas The Bite Before Christmas and Feed Mississauga Team

“Through the ‘twas the Bite Before Christmas campaign, we are working toward making sure no one in our city goes hungry. I wish this community fundraising initiative all the very best in 2022, and continued success in the years ahead. Thank you to everyone involved!”

— Bonnie Crombie, Former Mayor of Mississauga
