Barrie has, on average, a total of approximately 700 homeless people, many of these surviving on the streets, in encampments, with next to no necessities of life. Some only have a tent, no sleeping bag. The number of yearly deaths is on the increase. What many of us consider "normal", a bed to sleep in at night, a roof over our heads, food to eat, too many can't afford. Many of the unhoused have come into these dire circumstances due to abuse, job loss, house fire, etc., through no fault of their own. They have many severe hardships they have to endure daily.

We are a Barrie-based group that brings care packages, toiletry packages and clothing directly to those in need. Please help us provide the necessities of life to those desperately in need of the necessities of life.
