The CP Holiday Train is rolling into the station this Friday and it marks the launch of the biggest Barrie Food Bank drive in history.
Over 2,800 people expecting to use the Food Bank in December, some 600 families
This year, the Food Bank is hoping Barrie digs deep and helps raise 200,000 pounds of food over the festive season. This represents the largest goal ever set by the food bank, as usage of it has remained consistent; over 75,000 pounds of food is distributed each month and the Food Bank expects to see upwards of 2,800 people through December.
