Street Angels Windsor-Essex are hoping to fill a void in the community.

The outreach program for the homeless says there is a gap in food security between 7p.m. and 9 p.m. each night.

Their solution is The Soup Shack. The plan is to renovate a 20-foot trailer and serve hot soup, rolls and warm beverages during that time in the downtown core.

Street Angels has already purchased the trailer and is now raising money to renovate and operate it during the winter months.

The group needs to raise about $15,000 and volunteers to run it.

A GoFundMe page has been launched to help cover the costs.
