There are many options to offer monetary support (whichever one works for you, please be sure you tell the recipient who you are and what the funds are for.)

• The Red Cross. There is 3 to 1 match from the Alberta and federal governments until June 3. Click here for the link to donate.
• If you prefer to give through the United Church, you can donate to the Regional Council’s Emergency Fund, and distribution of those funds will be worked out as longer- term needs become clearer. You can donate through CanadaHelps: (note a small service charge is held)
  You can also e-transfer:This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it." rel="noopener" target="_blank">This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
  Or mail: 13535-122 Avenue NW, Edmonton AB T5L 2V7.
• In all cases, please note that the donation is for the Emergency Fund- 2023 wildfires.

If you want to support a particular community, then we invite you to check out online if they have created their own donation options. We draw your attention to Little Red River Cree Nation and Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, both of which have suffered extensive damage. The latter has no public fundraiser at this time, but you’re invited to look for updates. Click here for the Little Red River Cree Nation/ Fox River area evacuee fundraiser.

In all of these things and times and places, let us not forget that God is our strength, and our courage but that we are the hands and feet of God’s love in this place.

We are called to be bold in our discipleship so let’s be bold in offering our support.
