Bonnyville Donation Centre Now Full

The Town of Bonnyville and the Municipal District of Bonnyville appreciate the generosity of our communities. We are now asking residents to hold off on donations of clothing and food. We do encourage the community to continue their donations to the Red Cross (www.redcross.ca) and other non-government organizations in support of Fort McMurray fire evacuees.

Over the past week, residents have filled truck upon truck with donations, resulting in a large stockpile of food and goods now stored in the Bonnyville Centralized High School (BCHS) gym and other locations in the community. At this time, our donation centres have an excess of items. The municipalities and the check-in centre are not equipped to accept or manage further donations from the public.

In future, specific donation needs may be identified and will be communicated to the community via municipal websites (www.town.bonnyville.ab.ca , www.md.bonnyville.ab.ca) and social media (www.facebook.com/MDBonnyville and Twitter @MDBville).

The Councils of the municipalities are honoured to represent such caring people. Thank you for all of the support.

Any Fort McMurray residents in need of supplies are invited to attend the gym at 4908 – 49 Ave. in Bonnyville.
