The Welcome Centre Shelter in Windsor is in need of some help.
The shelter for women and families operates a food bank and the shelves are nearly bare.
"Over the holidays, we get quite a bit donations, but it tapers off towards the summer," says Kristin Douglas, the centre's strategic partnership manager.
Every month, more than 200 people access the food bank and earlier this week, Campaign 2000 revealed that Windsor-West has one of the highest rates of child poverty in the country.
"Our food bank actually services Windsor-West, basically anyone west of Crawford and it was fitting and it made sense to us because that is who we service," says Douglas.
The food bank provides three days of emergency food supplies once a month to women and children and Douglas says ideally, the centre would like to provide them with a balanced variety of items such as peanut butter or canned fruit.
Items in high demand are rice, cereal, peanut butter, toilet paper, oatmeal, canned fruit and school snacks.
The food bank is open Monday and Wednesday from 12pm-3pm.
