Please be patient when ordering food. We are out on the roads driving . We are risking our life to pick up your food so you can stay home safe and dry. Don't forget to tip and remember delivery times will be delayed :) Source

Found Lamb Chop at Harvie park this morning. She was cold but was in great health otherwise. If she’s yours, let me know. We will keep her warm until then. Source

Free idea share ☺️ So many people are low on funds this year! A lovely lady in another group said I could share her photo. Reuse news paper for wrapping gifts ! What a great idea and saves so much money ! Plus it's recyclable and everyone has it on hand. I absolutely love this idea and had to share :) Source

Not sure if anyone will know but a friend of mine had a bat take up residence in between her screen door and her glass door on her balcony. It hasn’t moved in a few days. It’s still breathing she keeps checking. She has taken a hot water bottle and put it up against the glass door for little bits of time to try and provide a bit of warmth but we’re not sure what else to do for the little fella. Anyone know who we can call to help the little cutie? North Barrie near Walmart. We don’t drive. I am comfortable handling if I have to move him as I’ve handled bats before but my friend isn’t I’m just not knowledgeable in what’s good for them. Source

Good morning friends of Fresh Food Weekly!

Each driver gets an average of three deliveries (and a max of four) and all deliveries are within the City of #Barrie, and they take one hour max to do. And I’m looking for drivers who are available anytime between 12 noon and 6:30pm. The pickup site is 149 Welham Road (in Barrie). If you’re interested and available to help out by doing some Christmas dinner deliveries, please send me a PM! 🤗 Ps. If you have any teenagers in school looking for some community service hours, I can definitely give them some hours and sign their form! However, if they don’t have a license or vehicle, a parent or grandparent or someone with a license will need to drive them.
