The Hope Barrie Group of Ministries

2024 Impact Report Cover Image.jpg

Hope Barrie is a Missional Movement

We are an extension of your local church.

We exist to help churches and people to help people experiencing poverty.

Our shared mission is to help people to become everything that God created them to be.

THE HOPE BARRIE GROUP OF MINISTRIES

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.
