Sharp Canada Supports Local and Global Communities Through Food Initiatives
At Sharp Canada, our commitment to corporate social responsibility goes beyond business—we believe in making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. One way we live this value is through our continued support of impactful community food programs, both locally and globally.
In Mississauga, Ontario, we are proud to support Eden Food for Change, an organization dedicated to increasing access to nutritious food with dignity, promoting healthy eating habits, and empowering individuals through education and outreach. Our support includes local food donations and volunteer time from Sharp Canada employees, who help by preparing ready-made meals and sorting food items to serve those in need.

In addition, we’ve recently partnered with Food4Kids Mississauga, a remarkable organization focused on fighting food insecurity, particularly in children. Our team contributed by donating healthy snacks and prepared meals, supporting their mission to ensure that children in our community have consistent access to nutritious food when they need it most. This partnership strengthens our impact in childhood hunger relief.
Our reach also extends globally through our ongoing contributions to Canadian Food for Children, a registered Canadian charity devoted to feeding the world’s most vulnerable populations. With every dollar donated providing up to 20 nutritious meals, Sharp Canada is honoured to play a role in helping combat hunger in some of the world’s poorest regions.
These partnerships reflect our ongoing belief that access to food is a basic human right, and we’re proud to work alongside these organizations to help create healthier, more nourished communities—both at home and abroad.
