Here's a list of some of the other ways you can help those affected by the fires in Fort McMurray:
• The Edmonton Emergency Relief Services is coordinating donation efforts in Edmonton and is specifically requesting donations of diapers, baby wipes, new toiletries such as soap and shampoo and new socks an underwear. Items should not be taken to the Expo Centre, but to the Emergency Relief Services warehouse, downtown at 10255 104th St. The not-for-profit is also looking for volunteers. To register, call 780-428-4422.
• Edmonton’s Food Bank is providing food resources to evacuees. Donations of food may be left at any major grocery store or fire hall. Monetary donations to the Fort McMurray Dire Evacuee support can be made online here.
• An Edmontonian has created a website where locals can register space available to house Fort McMurray evacuees and where evacuees needing a place to stay can register for help. Go to www.ymmfire.ca
• Airbnb has activated their Disaster Response Tool, waiving all fees so those with residences available to evacuees can post their listing for free. You can offer to host your space through Airbnb, which will still have the protections guaranteed by the service for regular short-term vacation rentals.
