We are pleased to announce that beginning in January 2023, we will be delivering fresh food to low-income families living in the City of Barrie and the Town of Innisfil on a bi-weekly basis!
Due to the increase of deliveries, we'll be including a bit more food in them and so we'll also be increasing the monthly cost of sponsoring a low-income family. Between the months of January, February and March 2023, the cost to sponsor one low-income family for one month will increase to $55. The delivery days will also be changing to Sundays. Here are the following delivery days:
Sunday, Jan. 8, 2023
Sunday, Jan. 22, 2023
Sunday, Feb. 5, 2023
Sunday, Feb. 19, 2023
Sunday, Mar. 5, 2023
Sunday, Mar. 19, 2023

Proof of Income
We will also be requiring recipient's of this bi-weekly delivery program to provide proof of income for each adult in the household. Once they've been approved, they will automatically receive fresh food in January, February and March.
If you would like to apply for this program, please use the usual application form and we'll send you a request for proof of income if we have enough for you. Due to extremely limited capacity, we can only serve 60 low-income families per month at this point.
