For over 52 years, Christmas Cheer has been supporting people who need a little extra help at Christmas

Christmas Cheer supports families in need at Christmas. It's for people living paycheque to paycheque who don't make enough to cover the extras. It's for people receiving financial assistance, or no assistance at all. We help grandparents raising grandkids, young parents of small children, single parents, married parents, families and single people who are struggling to put food on the table.

Christmas Cheer serves the residents of:

  • Barrie
  • Innisfil
  • Essa
  • Oro-Medonte
