August Community Update 💙

In August, Barrie Food Bank welcomed 7,683 visits. 2% more than this time last year.

We continue to see an increase in emergency visits, highlighting the growing need for food support in our community. The number of children and seniors we serve remains consistent with July.

Behind every visit is a person or family who needs a little extra support. We’re proud to continue being here, providing food and hope to our neighbours when they need it most.

Barrie Food Bank is here for our community, today, tomorrow, and whenever help is needed. 💙

💙 Happy National Food Bank Day! 💙

Today, we’re celebrating and recognizing the incredible volunteers, donors, staff, community partners, and everyone who makes our work possible.

Barrie Food Bank is more than a place to access food. It’s a place to connect, build relationships, find support, share a smile, and feel a sense of belonging.

Every person who walks through our doors is part of our community, and every person who gives their time, resources, or kindness helps make this place stronger.

Today, we celebrate our community, our volunteers, our donors, and our amazing staff. Thank you for being part of what makes Barrie Food Bank a place where people come together. 💙

September is Hunger Action Month, an opportunity to understand why hunger is growing in communities across Ontario - because record-high food bank use in Barrie is only part of the story.

At Barrie Food Bank, we see every day that the root causes of hunger are being driven by public policies that affect people and families’ ability to make ends meet. But by understanding how poverty and hunger are connected, we can take meaningful action that works towards lasting change.

More Than Canned Food 🥕🥛❤️
When you think of a food bank, you might picture canned goods, but we’re so much more than canned food!

The produce available at Barrie Food Bank comes from a variety of incredible sources, including Costco, local grocery partners, farmers, and generous community donors. We receive lots of fresh produce donations, helping us provide a greater variety of nutritious food to our neighbours.

A special shoutout to Harris Farms for helping us bring fresh, local food to our community! 🚜🥕 Your support makes a difference.

It takes a community to fill a table. ❤️

Meet Derek! Derek currently works as a local Realtor and property manager. Outside of work, he loves staying active, being outdoors, listening to live music, and spending quality time with his family. Derek is married, has one daughter and a baby boy on the way!

At Barrie Food Bank, Derek supports the visitors of our emergency food program (The Corner Store) and ensures that everyone who walks through the door is treated with fairness, dignity and respect. He also supports our intake team by assisting our monthly visitors through active listening and compassion.

For Derek, volunteering is a meaningful way to support neighbours navigating tough times, knowing food insecurity can impact anyone. The most rewarding part is both the clients he assists and the incredible team of volunteers and staff he works alongside!

Thank you, Derek, for your dedication, empathy, and ongoing commitment to our community. We are so grateful to have you on our team!
