Helping those in need is the experience of a lifetime
Every year the community comes together to play Santa for families across Barrie, Innisfil, Essa and Oro-Medonte. We can't do any of this without you.
What volunteers do
Volunteers make Christmas Cheer happen, from the first toy drive to the last box handed out.
