Canadian Red Cross personnel in Edmonton have been busy this past weekend as they continue to respond to an 84-unit condominium fire that destroyed multiple suites and left many homeless late last week. Red Cross personnel stepped in right away to conduct needs assessments and have provided 64 individuals with support for basic necessities including food, shelter, clothing, hygiene kits and medication refills. To donate to Canadian Red Cross disaster response efforts, call 1-800-418-1111 or visit our website. In-kind donations, such as clothes, food and other supplies, while well-intentioned, will not be accepted.
