Key giving tips from Slave Lake fire:
- Donate cash to help the township and its local charities – Salvation Army, foodbanks, community centres
- Do NOT send donated goods
- Know the local needs of the community
- Do not show up to help without checking in with the township who is leading the recovery and do not expect the township to provide you with room and board while you do your charity work.
