TD Bank in Langley is taking donations, which will be sent to Edmonton this Sunday to assist Fort Mac fire victims.
Langley bank financial services representative Justine Latussek organized the donation drive along with other staff members. She wanted to help out in any way she could.
"Like so many of us watching the devastation, my heart goes out to them," said Latussek.
"We are taking everything but clothing and toys," she said. "We know they are in real need of blankets, bedding, pillows, toiletries, diapers, adult diapers, baby food, wipes."
The donations will be sent to Abbotsford, from where a trailer-truck will haul the donations to the Alberta capital.
The Langley TD Bank hopes to have enough donations to send another truck soon.
Latussek said there are now evacuees who have come to stay in the Lower Mainland. She has sponsored a family, but would like to see a donation depot set up locally for those evacuees to access.
Anyone who would like to make a donation to help the Fort Mac fire victims, can drop items off at the Willowbrook Drive TD branch at 19711 Wiillowbrook Dr. until Friday, May 13.
