Grocery Assistance
Programme Here.
If you have donated to the our food programme,
you will have received one of these year-end
reports in the mail.
If you don't know that we do much more than
give food away, you can learn more here!
If you are in need of grocery assistance, please come see us during programming times in person.
We will not respond to messages or phone calls requesting assistance.
This is because we are a community. Participating in our Food Pantry means participating in our Hope-Full community.

The Hope Centre
34 Mary Street, Downtown Barrie
This is our base of operations. The Hope Centre is a safe and inviting space for people to gather, to participate in programming, and to receive assistance.
Supports include Counselling, Grocery Assistance, a Meal Programme, and Support Groups for Mental Health Support and Addiction Recovery, from a Gospel-driven perspective.
Higher Grounds Coffee House
Non-Profit, Social Enterprise with a Higher Calling.
Higher Grounds Coffee House exists for three reasons, in this order of priority:
-
The "Stepping Stones" Mentorship Programme, providing essential job and job-related skills to marginalized and vulnerable participants;
-
A safe, friendly, and comfortable "3rd Space" -- a gathering space for people to meet and to connect with life-giving community with low barriers;
-
The "Pay-it-Forward" Programme, funded by donations, to provide coffee and food to anyone in need when they need it.
Hope House Barrie
Sober Living: Transitional Housing for Men.
Operating from the fundamental principle that "the opposite of addiction and poverty is connection and community", we introduce marginalized and vulnerable men into community. We individually case-manage each resident as needed.
