Snow thanked Focus West and Syber Concrete for providing storage space for donations.

They are planning to have all the contributions sorted and on the way in time for Christmas.

“Everything before Santa.”

Kimz Angels has also been distributing supplies to flood victims in Abbotsford, and plans to keep on doing so.

“We dropped off at Tradex and other locations,” Snow explained.
