The outpouring of support for victims of the Fort McMurray wildfire is turning into money to help evacuees resettle.
And here in the Tri-Cities, there are plenty of places to help out.
Here's a list of ongoing Ft. Mac fundraisers. If you have one to add, email [email protected].
• Buy a burger and help out today (Wednesday) as White Spot will donate $2 from the sale of every burger platter or combo to the Canadian Red Cross. All 63 restaurants throughout B.C. and Alberta will be participating, including the BC Ferries vessels that offer White Spot food on board.
• BC Liquor Stores customers can donate $2, $5 or more to help the Red Cross in Alberta reunite family members, provide evacuees with shelter food and water, and, later, assist with longer-term needs as the community rebuilds.
• Tri-City Paint and Decorating at 500-1970 Oxford Connector, Port Coquitlam, will be donating $10 for every gallon of Premium Benjamin Moore Paint sold through May 14. The funds will go to the Canadian Red Cross Alberta Fire Relief fund.
• The International Association of Fire Fighters is raising money for a Disaster Relief Fund to support 2494 IAFF members. Donate online at www.iaff.org/donate.
