Thanks to a generous donation from the Rotary Club of Barrie and the Rotary Club of Barrie Charitable Foundation, Barrie Cares is now nearing its $250,000 fundraising goal for the former paramedic building at 113 Tiffin Street.
This private funding capital campaign directly complements the County of Simcoe’s 113 Tiffin Street Bridge Housing initiative. The program is designed to support individuals currently living outdoors and in encampments by providing safe indoor accommodations along with intensive, individualized supports. The ultimate goal is to help participants transition successfully into permanent housing.
The $250,000 campaign will fund key facility renovations and enhancements, including installation of a new HVAC system, creation of a functional kitchen, and development of clinical support spaces. These improvements are essential to ensuring the building can effectively serve vulnerable members of our community.
The Rotary Club of Barrie and its Charitable Foundation continue to demonstrate their commitment to meaningful, practical solutions to local challenges. Their leadership and generosity are helping create lasting change in Barrie.
