Full Out for the Community: Faris Team Supports Barrie Food Bank

At Faris Team, we believe in going full out for our clients—and our community. That’s why we’re honoured to once again support the Barrie Food Bank through our annual Faris Cares Food Drive.

We recently received our 2024 Food Drive Certificate from the Barrie Food Bank, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to play a small part in the fight against hunger. Thanks to the dedication of our team and the generosity of our supporters, we’ve helped provide vital resources to families, seniors, and children in our community who are facing food insecurity.

Why We Give Back

Food insecurity can affect anyone—your neighbours, co-workers, or classmates. Right here in Barrie, more than 7,000 people rely on the food bank each month, with 37% being children. That’s why it’s so important to act.

By organizing and collecting food donations, we’re not just stocking shelves—we’re bringing hope to households that need it most. Your support might mean a warm dinner for a single mom and her kids, a senior sharing a meal with grandchildren, or a child starting their school day without an empty stomach.

Our 2024 Impact

Last year, through the Faris Cares program, we:

• Donated $48,700 and 659lbs of food to the Barrie Food Bank

• Sorted nearly 8,000 pounds of food with our team

• Matched donations to help them reach their goal of $1 million and 300,000 pounds of food

We were proud to take action during in 2024, and we’re even prouder to continue that mission into 2025.
