South Barrie Collision Centre

South Barrie Collision Centre has donated a 2007 Chevy Uplander to the David Busby Street Centre Mobile Outreach Program. The community-based organization aims to improve the health and well-being of individuals, families and the Barrie, Ontario community by reducing challenges associated with poverty, addiction and mental health issues. Entertainment included the Bob Charter’s Band, food and presentations. Guest speakers included Mayor Jeff Lehman and Barrie MP Patrick Brown. Prior to the event, South Barrie Collision Centre asked its customers to help fill the donated van with non-perishable food items, blankets and winter apparel. “Supporting the community even after Christmas is especially important,” says Alec Smales, president of South Barrie Collision Centre. “People in poverty are in need all year round. The mobile outreach vehicle, now running seven days a week, will also be used to pick up donations, so that David Busby can continue to help those who are homeless and living in poverty.”
