Barrie Food Bank

Barrie Food Bank The Barrie Food Bank provides food relief to individuals and families in our community who are in need, and supports them on their journey towards well-being.

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 collect food donations throughout the year, and with a team of 200 volunteers, we distribute this food to over 6000 individuals each month.

On Tuesday, Barrie Food Bank joined Feed Ontario and 18 food banks from across the province for a "Day of Action" at Queen’s Park to discuss the growing crisis of food insecurity in Ontario.
We were grateful to meet with Barrie-Springwater-Oro-Medonte MPP Doug Downey and Barrie-Innisfil MPP Andrea Khanjin and to share the realities facing our community as food bank usage continues to rise.

Our conversation included ways the Province can continue supporting individuals working toward financial stability.
Thank you to both MPPs for taking the time to listen, engage in meaningful discussion, and support conversations focused on strengthening our Barrie community.

We are truly fortunate to be surrounded by so many incredible caregivers, people who show up with heart, dedication, and warmth to support not only their own families, but also neighbours, friends, and everyone around them. 🌷 Your impact is felt far beyond what words can express.

Today, we celebrate you. We appreciate you. We are grateful for you. 🙏

We had the opportunity to welcome Connexus Church for helping us sort through the remaining food from our community's Easter donations. It was wonderful to have their team helping ensure the food is safe and suitable, with Best Before dates checked on every single item we put on our shelves for our clients 📦💛

Last month, we supported nearly 8,000 individuals at Barrie Food Bank, an important reminder of the growing need in our community.

Thank you, Connexus, for continuing to be FOR The Hungry!

Last month’s visit data helps us better understand the real faces and families behind our service. By looking at both household visits and family sizes, we can see a clear picture of who is coming through our doors and how community needs are evolving.

Each visit represents dignity, resilience, and the importance of community support. These numbers don’t just show traffic; they reflect lives, stories, and the growing need for accessible food support.

Home Runs for the Hungry IV was absolutely amazing! ⚾💙

Thank you to everyone who helped make it such a fantastic day, full of fun, energy, art, and an incredible show of support for our community.

We’re thrilled to share that our community hit us a home run raising over $40,000 and collecting 1,700 lbs of food for Barrie Food Bank.

A special thank you to Craig Nixon and Josh from the Barrie Baycats for helping bring this event to life, and to the association and their teams for their efforts in collecting food.

We’re also grateful to all of our generous sponsors for making this event possible. Huge thanks to Clandestinos and for keeping the energy high, and to from Rock 95 for bringing great spirit throughout the game.

To all the players: this event wouldn’t be possible without you. And to our amazing community, sponsors, and volunteers, thank you for helping make this event such a success.

See you next year for #5!
