​​At Seva Food Bank, we extend care and support to the cherished seniors in our community. Our groundbreaking Hot Meals Delivery Program brings comfort and nourishment to those who need it most throughout Peel Region.

Bringing Comfort and Nourishment to Seniors​​​

Our Hot Meals Delivery Program provides ready-to-eat meals tailored to heart healthy diet. This ensures comfort and nourishment, especially for those living alone or with limited mobility in Mississauga. Consistent access to nutritious food is not a luxury but a necessity for living a healthy life.
 

A History of Providing a Lifeline
for Vulnerable Seniors​

Seva Food Bank plays a vital role in the lives of vulnerable families and seniors, offering a steady source of healthy, nourishing meals month after month.

 

Our journey began when hospitals, social workers, and community organizations reached out to us, seeking support for food-insecure seniors. Due to health and accessibility issues, as well as financial constraints, these seniors were struggling to receive appropriate nutrition.​

Our Impact So Far​​

Meals (lunch and dinner) are provided 5 days a week throughout the year by a team of dedicated staff and volunteers. All services are provided without distinction and free of charge to seniors in need. We currently deliver over 60 hot meals a day, 5 days a week, and with your support, we aim to scale the program to address the growing need and reach more clients across the Peel region.

 

Our pilot program launched in 2023 provided seniors (who were Seva's existing clients) with hot lunch and dinner five days a week, delivered to their homes. Menus were developed by registered dietitian and nutritionists. After the pilot’s success, Seva Food Bank continues to expand the program.

Why your Support Matters? 

 

Your generosity is a lifeline for seniors in need. Help us deliver nutritious meals right to their doorstep. Over our 14 years of service, we have never turned anyone away due to a lack of food, despite unprecedented demand. Factors such as refugees from conflict zones, unemployment, record inflation, and economic uncertainty have contributed to the growing need within our community.
