A donation drive to help those affected by the B.C. wildfires is being organized by Ladner resident Marie Beer and her husband Poul for tomorrow between 4 and 6 p.m. in the Trenant Park Square parking lot.
Beer said they are hoping to collect enough donations of food and supplies to fill their F-150 and 5x10 utility trailer for a run up to the Kamloops evacuation centre this weekend.
They're looking for donations of:
- Any baby items (food, diapers, wipes)
- Specialized seniors items (Polident, denture cups, diapers)
- Gift cards (would be ideal as the recipients can choose what they need)
- Garbage bags
- Cellphone chargers and adapters
- Batteries (all kinds)
- Non-perishable food
- Canned food
- Hygiene items (deodorant, soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste)
- New underwear and socks (all sizes, still in packets)
- Feminine hygiene products
- Sunblock, bug spray
- Blankets
- Pillows
- Pet supplies (food, bedding, bowls)
