Donations for Wildfire Relief
Wildfires are impacting communities across the Okanagan, forcing thousands of people from their homes and leaving families facing an uncertain time in the days and weeks ahead.
We are bringing our community together to collect essential items for people who have been displaced. We will deliver donations to Kelowna Branch - Mamas for Mamas and they will distribute them to families as they navigate evacuation, temporary housing and recovery.
What We Are Collecting
We are prioritizing items that families need for everyday life. To help ensure donations can be safely and efficiently distributed, all donated items should be new and wherever possible packed in small bags or boxes for ease of distribution.
