Barrington Giving Day is a 501c3 Non-Profit organization that invites families on the Free and Reduced lunch program in the 220 School District to Giving Day Events (A Back to School event in the summer and a Holiday event in December) where they receive items like food, warm coats, hats/gloves, blankets, clothes, books, toys, gifts and other much needed items. In 2013, Barrington Giving Day provided help to over 1,000 families that included 3,000 children, and senior citizens. Each year the need is greater.
