The Cariboo Chilcotin Metis Association in Williams Lake is accepting donations for Lytton evacuees.
Marlene Swears is the President and said they started taking donations last week and delivering them but with the vast response throughout the Province, there are limited items that are being accepted, one of them being clothing.
Swears goes over what the Cariboo Chilcotin Metis Association is now taking for donations
“We’re looking for gas cards, and gift cards, they’re looking for tents. We sent a bunch of blankets and stuff, there are pillows that are needed because we have firefighters and volunteers living on the ground and no tents, no shelter around them.”
