BARRIE, ONT. A local charity hosted a Christmas-themed event in Newmarket in support of abuse survivors. The Christmas in July event was hosted by non-profit organization, Abuse Hurts, at Market Brewing Co., from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Attendees were encouraged to donate an unwrapped toy or gift card to the free family-friendly event, which featured a Christmas market with local vendors, live music and pictures with Santa Claus. Abuse Hurts CEO and Founder Ellen Campbell says last year was challenging, as the organization could not meet increased demand due to pandemic restrictions. Domestic abuse is up 30 per cent, says Campbell. Demand is up and we need to raise as much money as we can for Christmas and for other times.
