Join in today! The BarrieToday Cares Match Initiative: Sheltering Our Communities is bringing our whole community together to support the Women and Children's Shelter of Barrie and make a real impact.

We have partnered with Metro Barrie to offer grocery gift cards for our readers to purchase for the Women and Children's Shelter of Barrie through an online pop-up store. 

You can purchase a gift card here. 

BarrieToday is matching all purchases with a cash donation to the Women and Children's Shelter of Barrie. But that's not all…

Barrie’s generous local businesses have also pledged to match every purchase with a cash donation! 

That means that until Thursday, May 15 at 12 p.m. (or until gift cards run out), every dollar spent on gift cards in our pop-up store will be matched four times, with all proceeds going directly to the Women and Children's Shelter of Barrie. 

Turn your $25 gift into a $125 gift by following these easy steps: 

  1. Log in to your BarrieToday+ account (or create your free account here)
  2. Choose a gift card on BarrieToday Cares Match Initiative: Sheltering Our Communities
  3. Enter your credit card details, and confirm your purchase 

Thanks to our caring local community, we're proud to lead this effort to support the Women and Children's Shelter of Barrie. Your contribution helps to make an even bigger impact!

Special thanks to Metro Barrie for donating the gift cards for this initiative, and to the following businesses who have joined us in matching each donation: Peggy Hill, Paul Sadlon Jr and Aquamaster.
