This year at MWC, we launched MWC Food, an all-encompassing food fund comprising of the very programs and initiatives you have loved and supported over the last 26 years.

Combating food insecurity is highlighted across many of our programs, and it’s a growing concern we wish to tackle as a community. In the next three years, we aim to raise 10 million dollars in food donations, enabling us to be leaders on the front line of the fight against hunger. 

Through your support of our community initiatives and programs of course!

We have 7 amazing programs outlined below, each addressing a different need within the community, catering to people from all ethnicities, provinces, and age groups. Whether it’s collaborating with the Christian Resource Center serving 400 hot meals every weekend at Regents Park, preparing food baskets with Project Ramadan to celebrate the blessed month, or providing our Arctic Food Bank with essential non-perishable food items for our friends up North, there’s a cause for everyone to get behind. 

The choice is yours! Pick a fund which you feel best aligns with your own personal values and get behind the cause! Your support goes well beyond the dollar, supporting thousands of people across the country, ensuring no one goes hungry.

We launched our first Arctic Food Bank in Inuvik, the Northwest Territories in 2015, and a second in Iqaluit, Nunavut in 2018. In collaboration with the Midnight Sun Mosque, we provide necessary non-perishable food and meat for indigenous community members in need.

Every year hundreds of young people from across the GTA and Ottawa come out to volunteer their time to prepare thousands of food baskets that contain nutritional food for those in need. 

At a cost of just $50 a basket, these baskets symbolize the blessed month of Ramadan, a month of giving and gratefulness!

In collaboration with the Christian Resource Centre, our Regent Meals program currently serves approximately 400 meals every Sunday. Since its launch, we have served over 60,000 meals to the Regent Park community! 

We are always welcoming of individuals who are interested in sponsoring single meals for $6 or an entire lunch program for $2,400.

We’ve teamed up with local organizations like the TAIBU Community Health Centre, 1 Love Malvern, 42 Division Toronto Police Service, Malvern Presbyterian Church, and Malvern Food Bank/Seventh Day Adventists to lead a free meal program for those in need. 

Once a week we come together to provide residents with freshly prepared lunches served in a restaurant-style setting. You can become a donor by sponsoring a meal for only $4!

Unfortunately, poverty and lack of accessibility go hand in hand with food insecurity. We started the Halal Meals on Wheels program in order to make our support more accessible for those facing these barriers, and to date, we have distributed over 288,000 meals to the most vulnerable.  

 

Help feed the homeless by sponsoring a meal for only $4!

Twice a week, we prepare and deliver over 500 meals to low-income seniors in the GTA and Mississauga, providing them with healthy meals delivered right to their doorsteps.  

Sponsors are welcome to join us in providing seniors with meals through this program at a cost of just $5 per meal.

Sharing the joys of Eid festivities with the needy is an annual practice here at MWC. 

For over two decades, we’ve been honouring the traditions of Qurbani and Zabiha through arranging the sacrifice of cattle and sharing the meat on your behalf with the less fortunate. 

Qurbani meat is provided to many parts of the world including Pakistan, Guyana, Syria, India, Bangladesh, the Rohingya refugee camps and Azad Kashmir.

We hope that one of our initiatives truly spoke to you and has inspired you to support it any way you can. Thousands of families within and across Canada go without food every single day, but you can help change this. Help us help them by donating today.
