About the Barrie Food Bank!

Our Vision

A community where no one is hungry.

Our Mission

The Barrie Food Bank provides food relief at no cost to individuals and
families in our community who are in need, and supports them on their
journey towards well-being.

Our Principles

We recognize that those who come to us for food assistance may also have other needs including physical, emotional, social, and spiritual. We encourage individuals and families to be hopeful, assisting with steps that they may take to meet their expressed needs. We comfort, encourage, and challenge individuals and families to do all they can to help themselves.

We collaborate with community organizations to provide relevant resources to our clients.

We show compassion and respect for the dignity of those who come to us for assistance.

Working towards a Community Where No One Is Hungry

The Barrie Food Bank’s mission is to provide temporary food relief to individuals and families of our community who are in need, and to serve as a resource to guide and support them on their journey towards well-being. Our policies are designed to achieve this mandate. In our service hours, 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.
