MAY COURT CLUB OF BARRIE
*************************
May Court Club of Barrie member Sharon Fitzsimmons organized a Christmas in June campaign, which raised $1,175 for the Barrie Food Bank.
The food bank is often forgotten in the summer yet the need is very high.
Sharon Palmer, the executive director of the Barrie Food Bank, shared, “In May we serviced 1,243 households (2,700 individuals) with six food pantries in the community.”
They work with 80 volunteers and normally the need “lulls” a bit but really hasn’t with gas, food and housing costs increasing.
