BARRIE, ONT. -- Every year, CTV's radio partners, 104.1 The Dock and Pure Country 106, help give those in need a brighter Christmas with Feeding Families, an initiative that helps raise food donations throughout Simcoe County.

Food banks are experiencing extra challenges because of the pandemic, including reduced staffing and the need for online donations rather than food donations.

For the 6th annual Feeding Families campaign, Pure Country 106 and 104.1 The Dock announcers will broadcast live from various food banks across Simcoe County.

Donating to food banks has been made easier this year with links to make online donations listed below, along with the Feeding Families schedule.

Please note, the radio stations will not accept drop-off donations this year.
