Updated List of Donations Needed for Ft Mac Evacuees: June 2

The Fort McMurray evacuee Donation Centre at the Bonnyville Community Baptist Church is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. this week. Starting Monday, June 6, the operating hours will be changed to 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day.

Pastor Ben Smith says organizers are in need of a couple of different items to restock the shelves. These include:

• Canned meat
• Canned fruit
• Spaghetti and other pasta noodles
• Rice
• Can openers
• Body wash
• Deodorant
• Jam/jelly
• Fresh fruit
• Cookies
• Salt and pepper
• Mayonnaise
• Hair brushes
• Shampoo/conditioner

Specific donations from the list can be dropped off at the Bonnyville Baptist Church, located at 4111-43 Ave.

Smith says the store will be running for a while longer so organizers are looking for volunteers to help run the “store”. Please text 780-812-9329 or call 780-826-4801 if you would like to sign up for a specific shift, or sign up on the schedule at the church.
