The Nissan Canada Foundation and the Mississauga Food Bank will continue their long-standing partnership to help feed the hungry.
As the food bank’s “Champion Sponsor” for 2016 and 207, Nissan Canada, through the Nissan Canada Foundation, will provide volunteer support and sponsor several food drives.
This includes the city-wide Holiday Food and Fundraising Drive in December and the summer Food for Thought Food Drive, in which local dealership such as Direct Nissan and Woodchester Nissan will help source food and raise funds.
“The city of Mississauga is our home, our employees and dealers have spent two decades giving back to this community, hoping to have a meaningful impact,” said Joni Piva, president of Nissan Canada Inc. in a written release.
The Mississauga Food Bank said it has been providing food for over 2.2 million meals each year through its network of member agencies.
“We provide food for 183,000 meals each month and we can’t do that without the generous support of partners like the Nissan Canada Foundation,” said Chris Hatch, executive director of The Mississauga Food Bank.
“To say we are grateful for the Nissan Canada Foundation’s support for the past 10 years would be an understatement. We’re delighted to continue working with Nissan employees to achieve our shared vision of a Mississauga where no one goes hungry.”
