Volunteers are the heartbeat of Barrie Families Unite, and Give Back Rack is where that heartbeat is felt every day.
Our community thrift store supports both public shoppers and individuals referred through local agencies. Volunteers help make this dignified, welcoming experience possible from the moment donations arrive to the moment someone leaves the store with what they need.
