Port Credit is known as a close-knit and active community, and the pandemic clearly illustrated that.
Various organizations, government institutions, NGOs, and local volunteers joined forces to help the community combat the economic and social consequences of COVID-19.

We’ve seen many noble, generous and amazing projects arise that help people stay safe, help local businesses stay open, and serve those in need.

Many Port Credit organizations raised money for COVID-19-related causes, volunteers delivered food to the elderly, and awareness-raising and #staysafe campaigns were quickly implemented.

Through this, the community showed engagement, compassion and courage.
Prominent COVID-19 initiatives that helped the community recover include:

Support The Port
The Port Credit BIA partnered with the Brightwater Developers - Edenshaw Development LTD and the Port Credit Community Foundation to support local businesses.
This initiative enabled citizens to buy online gift cards to be used at participating businesses, encouraging the shop and support local initiative.
For the full list of all participating businesses, click here.
The partners match the gift card funds and donate that amount to the Compass Food Bank.

Feed Mississauga 
‘Twas The Bite Before Christmas Foundation launched Feed Mississauga - one of the biggest local efforts to help families and all vulnerable groups affected by COVID-19.
I’m honoured to be on the Executive Board as this has attracted numerous donors and volunteers who organize different events and distribute food to food banks, seniors, and places of worship.
If you’re motivated and able to contribute, please make a donation online to Feed Mississauga here or join the volunteer team to help the community.

The Mask Initiative
Since April, the Port Credit Community Foundation and  its volunteers have been dedicated to producing and distributing masks to local heroes who work with the most vulnerable groups.
They’ve been involved in various ongoing projects that support frontline health workers, vulnerable groups, businesses and the artistic and cultural sector.
