Aldergrove residents have banded together to helped the displaced residents of Lytton after a wildfire tore through the town on June 30.

Rob Thiessen is leading the charge with a black trailer parked outside of FreshCo – 27566 Fraser Hwy.

Thiessen started collecting first thing Thursday morning and began again at 9 a.m. on Friday morning.

He’ll be there until 5 p.m. today, collecting everything from pet food to toiletries and clean bedding – anything in good condition that people can spare.
