Barrington Day of Giving

Barrington Giving Day, a 501c3 Non-Profit organization, has been serving the Barrington community for over 80 years. Created originally under the Barrington Salvation Army, our mission has always been to serve families in need in our community. As the needs of our community continued, Church Women United was formed and a community food pantry was established. Church Women United combined their efforts with the Salvation Army and distributed boxes of food. This event was later expanded to include warm clothing and toys. Over the years the event evolved and in 2005 Barrington Giving Day was formed to continue the mission.

Barrington Giving Day invites families on the Free and Reduced lunch program in the 220 School District to Giving Day Events throughout the year where they can receive much needed items for their families.  Depending on the events, families can receive food, clothing, shoes, warm coats, hats/gloves, blankets, books, toys, backpacks, school supplies and other much needed items. Over 800 families in our community are in need of our help, some are even homeless. The children are the ones who suffer the most! The more donations we receive, the more children we can help!
