At this time, due to the generosity of the community, clothing items (with the exception of socks and underwear) are no longer needed. Some priority items include can openers, towels, and snack food (granola bars, juice boxes, etc.).

Organizers ask large trailers go to Bonnyville Centralized High School (4908 49 Ave) to unload, while personal donations will be accepted at the Bonnyville Baptist Church (4111 43 Ave).
