As well, the group offers up a contact name and phone number (Kristen Frank 250-925-4949) to set up a time if the collection times do not work with your schedule and to find out more information about their plans in Prince Rupert.
A posting on Facebook outlines that the collection of supplies is for the use of evacuees, volunteer firefighters and frontline personnel in Burns Lake, Fraser Lake and points east.

As we outlined last week, First Nation communities across the Northwest have been quick to respond to the situation in Telegraph Creek, providing both monetary assistance and supplies for those impacted by the wildfire.
Terrace's firefighters, Mr. Mike's and city council members are joining forces Thursday in that community, hosting a fundraiser the Terrace Fire Hall to help raise donations towards the relief efforts for Telegraph Creek.
