Barrie & District Christmas Cheer
For 49 years, Christmas Cheer has been supporting people who need a little extra help at Christmas. Christmas Cheer supports families in need at Christmas. It’s for people living paycheck to paycheck who don’t make enough money to cover the extras at Christmas. It’s for people receiving financial assistance or no assistance at all. Christmas Cheer helps grandparents raising grandkids, and young parents of small children. It’s there for single parents, married parents, families and single people too who are struggling to put food on the table.

Barrie Food Bank
Working towards a community where no one is hungry.
The Barrie Food Bank’s mission is to provide food relief at no cost to individuals and families of our community who are in need, and to support them on their journey towards well-being. We are currently supporting over 7,000 individuals monthly with food support which is double from last year and tripled from pre-pandemic levels. We are seeing most growth coming from large families (5+), seniors and those on disability. 37% of our clients are children. We are here for single parents, couples and families who are struggling to put food on the table. Of those who come to us for assistance, we strive to demonstrate compassion and respect for their dignity, and to serve as a source of encouragement.
