NEWS - Barrie and District Christmas Cheer

Each year, the Barrie Colts Hockey Team supports Christmas Cheer by allowing to a Home Game to post volunteers at the entry doors to collect donations of cash, food and new unwrapped toys!

This year's date has been set for Saturday Dec 17, 2011, as the Niagara Ice Dawgs.

If you are planning to attend that game, please consider bringing a donation for Christmas Cheer.

This year, we're expecting shortages for children in the 8-11 year old age range as well as infants and babies.

Need more inspiration? Try the 8-11 year old pages at Toys R Us or Amazon.
(Please note that Christmas Cheer has no association with these companies, but we offer these links because they display a wide selection of gift ideas for children in this age range.)

Wondering what kind of food items we need most?
Here's a list...but remeber, please no glass containers or perishable items.

canned fish/meat
canned juices
canned fruits
canned vegetables
canned stew

canned pasta sauce
rice
pasta/pasta dinners
peanut butter
cookies

candies
hot chocolate
cereal
mashed potato mix
pancake mix / syrup

Thank you for taking the time to read this list and for considering supporting families in our region who could use a little extra help over the holidays, and THANKS to the Barrie Colts for their on-going support!
