BarrieToday's annual Match Initiatives bring our whole community together to support non-profit organizations making a positive difference in Barrie.

We connect our business partners and readers to 'match' donations and raise much-needed funds for local charities.

From food banks to shelters to mentorship programs, we have raised tens of thousands of dollars for a variety of worthwhile organizations through our Match programs.

Thank you to our generous business community and readers whose support for these fundraisers makes a real impact in our city.
