Food or Clothing Donations

Think of the needs of Barrie Out of the Cold as the needs of an unusually large family. What it takes to run a household, so too are the needs of BOOTC. Our shopping list changes according to need so please contact us if you would like to help by supplying food, fruit, beverages, cleaning supplies, hygiene products, etc.

We do not have sufficient space to store quantities of clothing, but do provide some warm clothing in emergencies. Items like ski jackets (clean and in good condition), waterproof ski pants, winter boots and shoes are always welcome. If we can't store these items, we pass them on to the David Busby Street Center. We maintain a stock of socks and new underwear as these items are constantly in demand.

BOOTC can benefit from corporate bulk price discounts and/or donations with respect to the food and clothing items mentioned above. Please contact us if you require guidance as to what is urgently needed.
