Families receive food, warm coats, hats, gloves, snow pants, boots, books, blankets, and gifts. Members of Barrington churches, schools, businesses and civic organizations have always been generous in their support of this day. Giving Day 2014 helped over 750 families, this included 2,500 children, and senior citizens. These families live in our school district. They are our friends and neighbors. Each year the need is greater.
