The Barry’s Bay Beer Store raised an impressive $5,455.85 this summer through the collection of empty bottles and monetary donations from patrons at the till. Proceeds are being directed toward the purchase of medical equipment at St. Francis Memorial Hospital through the St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation. Since the Barry’s Bay branch started collecting donations for the Foundation in 2020, they have been able to raise $19,495.00 for local healthcare. The Foundation sincerely thanks everyone who participated in this fundraiser!
