Kingston residents are being asked to help out the Partners in Mission Food Bank.
Metro grocery stores in Kingston are holding food drives collecting non-perishable food items and cash for the food bank.
One was held this past weekend at the Bayridge location where more than 2,500 pounds of food was collected.
There are two more taking place this week.
One is happening this Thursday at the Metro store on Barrie St between 9 am and 1:30 pm. Members of the Queen's Gaels football team will be there to help collect donations.
The other is at the Gardiners Rd store on Friday from 11 am to 6 pm.
The food bank's Executive Director Dan Irwin says an average of 110 households come to their food bank each day. He adds they have helped 9855 people including 2974 children as of the end of September which is more than all of last year.
