Charities

Christmas Cheer supports people who need help at Christmas. It’s for people who work and don’t make enough money to cover the extras at Christmas. It’s for people receiving financial assistance or no assistance at all. Christmas Cheer helps grandparents raising grandkids, and young parents of small children. It’s there for single parents, married parents, families and single people too. Christmas Cheer serves the residents of Barrie, Innisfil, Essa and Oro Townships.

The Gilda’s Club network is named in honor of comic and actress Gilda Radner, who died of ovarian cancer in 1989. Their purpose is to provide a source of emotional and social support for anyone feeling the impact of cancer, including patients and their loved ones. The Simcoe Muskoka chapter was founded in 2003, and they’ve done great work in providing support to all those suffering the effects of cancer. Gilda’s Club receives no government funding, and so the funding for all the programs and classes they offer comes from the generosity of the community.

It is the mission of the Barrie Food Bank to provide temporary food relief to individuals and families of our community who are in need, and to serve as a resource to guide them along the road to self sufficiency. The food bank started in 1984 as an amalgamation of church-based services seeking a more centralized model to combine their efforts to serve the needy in the community. The Peggy Hill Team have been glad to participate in food drives to benefit the Food Bank, and we’ve been happy to see those in the community who’ve dropped by to make donations.

It can be difficult for charities and other community organizations to find money in their budget to advertise, which hampers their ability to get their message out to the public, as well as their ability to raise funds to help accomplish their mission. Kool to Care is a program that allows advertisers with 107.5 Kool FM to donate air time to local charities as part of their advertising budget. Radio is a very effective method of advertising, and we’re glad to be able to help area charities bring their message to the airwaves.
