Barrett is a second-class township. A second-class township usually has three supervisors, elected at large for six-year terms. A referendum may allow a second-class township's board of supervisors to expand to five members. Some townships have home-rule charters, which allow for a mayor/council form of government.

We considered building a large lean-to to put the firewood under, but the cost of lumber to build it was in excess of $800 - about how much we spend for firewood to burn for the entire…

For many of our clients, pets offer 24/7 companionship. A pet may be the only “family” a client has. In January 2009, we began providing pet food to clients needing assistance feeding their pets.

Currently our volunteers graciously deliver food to 24 dogs and 36 cats on a monthly…
