Each year since 1998 a number of Barrie's churches have opened their doors to provide a warm, safe place for many of our homeless to stay during the cold winter months. With each winter season hundreds of volunteers are needed to assist the program in providing meals and accommodations to their guests.

The Barrie Food Bank has been helping people and families in need since 1984. The food bank distributes 500,00 pounds of food a year. Since the government does not fund the food bank, it relies solely on the generosity of the community to help feed the community.
Visit www.barriefoodbank.org to learn how you too can assist in making a difference in a family's time of need.
