🚫👕 The donation centre for fire victims is at capacity and unable to collect anymore items.
The following is a message from New Westminster Neighbourhood House:
"Thank you for being so generous. As always, New West showed up in a big way for others and the centre is overwhelmed with donations and the generosity of the community. We are unable to accept any more clothing or shoes at this time, and the donation centre is on pause until further notice. We are able to continue to accept cash, gift cards, and monetary donations by e-transfer to admin[at]newwestnh[dot]ca.
Our priority now is to connect with displaced families and ensure they get what they need. Once items have been sorted and needs determined, if there are any gaps we will put a call out for specific items.
If you would like to volunteer to help sort clothing and shoes, and are available on Monday, July 13, 4:00 - 8:00 pm, please email admin[at]newwestnh[dot]ca to express your interest.
A big thank you as well to the New Westminster School District for organizing the space.”
🙏 The City of New Westminster also wishes to thank everyone who has stepped forward to support those affected by this tragedy. Your compassion, kindness, and care reflect the very best of our community. Thank you for standing with your neighbours when they needed it most.
As a reminder, please do not bring donations to any City facility, including Century House, as staff are unable to accept or store them.
