How to help Saskatchewan’s wildfire evacuees
Saskatchewan is known for taking care of its own, so when evacuees came to Prince Albert, Regina, and Saskatoon from northern Saskatchewan where wildfires are burning, people wanted to know how to help.
The Salvation Army will take donations of summer items. Tents have been set up outside the evacuation centres in Prince Albert, Saskatoon and Regina where evacuees can get the items they require.
Donations can be taken to the Salvation Army’s thrift stores in those communities. Items such as shorts, t-shirts, and bathing suits would be welcomed.
In Prince Albert, that location is 900 Central Avenue, and it’s operating Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and is closed Sunday.
