BRITISH COLUMBIA— Communities across Northern B.C. have already been affected by devastating wildfires. With that the United for BC Wildfire Recovery Fund has begun channeling resources to meet the needs of displaced residents, ensuring they receive support when they need it most.
Mobilizing shortly after the Parker Lake wildfire put Fort Nelson on evacuation, United Way British Columbia has begun working with communities across the province to proactively supply food, gas cards and transportation support for those fleeing the fire.
United Way British Columbia reaffirms their commitment to providing relief through strategic partnerships with non-profit agencies. Organizations stepping up to aid in wildfire relief in Northern B.C. are encouraged to apply for assistance through their online portal under “Northern BC.”
“In these trying moments when thousands of British Columbians find themselves evacuated or on alert, the United for BC Wildfire Recovery Fund is a vital lifeline for those in need,” says Micheal McKnight, President and CEO of United Way British Columbia. “We recognize the acute trauma of these events and stand steadfast in supporting the path ahead for those affected.”
