Ryan's Hope is on the move, shifting its Breakfast-To-Go program from outside Collier Street United Church. Ryan's Hope is a non-profit in Barrie that supports people experiencing homelessness and those living with mental health and substance use issues.
The specific location for Ryan's Hope will be announced soon.
The Breakfast-To-Go program is the first initiative of Ryan's Hope. An initiative started by Christine and Tom Naylor in memory of their son Ryan in 2021.
Naylor calls it "a legacy of love. Ryan's Hope is not an organization. It's a community."
"For the marginalized, that cup of coffee, the muffin, the granola bar, etc., with the caring smile help to make the day a bit more tolerable. Our friends wait for us each morning and say 'Thank you' and 'God bless you' all the time.
The fact that I may have encouraged one person to face the day again is worth my effort," said Rina Krans, a volunteer at Breakfast-To-Go and Busby Centre.
The program serves breakfast seven days a week for one hour starting at 8 a.m.
