A Special Thanks to Individuals who stepped Up Helping Out/Organizing Donation Drives:

Coming Soon

Thanks for all your support on this, much appreciated! We hope to help as many evacuees as possible! If I missed anyone, sorry!

Residents Emailing Thanks:
For any residents that have been displaced from you home I greatly feel for you. I know that the rebuilding process is a long and trying one. I have a personal connection to being force from my residence as a child and I know that staying in hotels or with friends/ family is never “home”.

Our family was one part of the evacuees that were looking for supplies. We used all of our resources just to drive from Slave Lake... We are fortunate enough to have a camper to live in, and a place to park it - but we had nothing in it yet!!! We evacuated with 8 animals. We were supplied with some dishes, cooking utensils, dog food and cat food! We were looking for some clothes for our son, but the donations were just too many to sort through!! I grew up in Spruce Grove, went to SGCHS, moved to Slave Lake in 1995. Even though Slave Lake has been my home for almost 1/2 my life, most of my memories are from Spruce Grove! I remember walking through the "field" to go to work at McDonald's from the High School!!! Anyway, thanks to all of you for helping us out. It has been more tearful to feel the goodness that is still in our life than it is to know what we have lost. Thank you for giving us hope and the will to move on... :)

Thank you to Walmart St Albert and ToysRUs Edmonton for donating much needed supplies. On the first day of the evacuation I text some friends at the Athabasca Multiplex to find they needed pet food, toiletries and water--Walmart responded immediately. Later in the week, I was told the same shelter did not have much in the way of interactive toys - not only did. toys/babies R us respond in a very generous donation, but their staff also contributed individually. They were thrilled in Athabasca and wondered if the gifts were heaven sent as they had just been discussing the need.

All of you generous people everywhere. Thank you for all the help you are giving to the awesome people of Slave Lake. I live in Slave Lake and staying with my sister in Grand Prarie. I am happy to know I can go and see if I know any of them.
