The Welcome Centre food bank shelves are currently quite bare and in need of replenishing. Every month, more than 200 individuals access our Food Bank. In light of the research conducted by the Advocacy group Campaign 2000 revealing that Windsor-West has one of the highest rates on child poverty in the country and knowing our shelves are nearly bare, it is more important than ever to highlight that our Food Bank serves as an essential service to those children experiencing poverty. Not only are we accepting donations from individuals in our community, we are also looking for businesses to come on board as a monthly Food Bank Sponsor. Sponsorship of the Welcome Centre Shelter Food Bank presents a unique opportunity for local companies and businesses to get involved and promote their commitment to the Windsor-Essex community. Businesses pick their month of choice (June, July, August, September, October, November) and collect goods that are in high demand the entire month and when the month finishes, they bring the items to our Food Bank.
