My 8 year old and I are looking for a volunteer opportunity that we can do together… Anything for us?
Nothing family friendly as of RIGHT NOW, but keep checking back. In the next couple days volunteer opportunities are likely going to be going up like crazy.
Laundry, baking, food, water, making cleaning kits, sorting through donations – all safe for kids. bravo you!
Just an idea but if you have a pair if rubber boots and a shovel head down yo one of the hard hit communities and offer your services. This is not covered by insurance and most families are digging themselves out of this mess on their own. Ask around somebody knows someone hard hit.
I can certainly work the phone I have been an office administrator for year and have also worked within non profit organizations I am available anytime right now so please put me to a task 🙂 4037039526

I would really like to help out this week, as I cannot go to work anyways, but can’t travel so if there is anything I can do in Eau Claire, Chinatown, east-end of DT and beltline, Hillhurst/Sunnyside, etc please let me know. I’m able-bodied and ok with getting dirty.
Feel free to contact me at sjrooseboom@gmail.com.
contact quentin@hillhurstsunnyside.org
Sorry to hear about your car, but thanks for the interest!
Sent him an email – thanks! Will keep checking back to see if other nearby communities post.
Just curious if there are places where childcare is needed. Through the 2000 Days Early Child Development Network, we could try to set-up a team of childcare professionals and parents available to provide childcare where needed. Please let me know if this is something we can help with. Also, could collect donntoys, baby/children clothing, books etc..

A family friend come down from Vegreville to help us with his two vac trucks. Rig Vac Inc. I believe he was working downtown this morning lending a hand. He’s contacted me asking of the status of discovery ridge condos that remain powerless, and waterless from the parkades still being flooded. Is there a number he can contact to put his trucks to use?
His name is Alan Baxandall
Company: Rig Vac Inc from Vegreville, AB
Cell: 1-780-632-1406
Hopefully we can use him!
Thanks.
Do you have any contact info or volunteer info for Morley Reserve? Have heard they need supplies badly, and have some to take to them, but not sure where. Thanks
Sorry, at this time we do not.
It looks like donations for Morley Reserve can be made in Cochrane at the Boys and Girls Club or Bentley’s Books. On this website they also list where to make financial donations. http://www.ammsa.com/publications/alberta-sweetgrass/donations-morley-and-siksika-being-accepted

I have literally been brought to tears reading about all the amazing people who are offering their time and effort to help others. Although this flood has been disasterous to so many people, the kindness of so many is restoring “some” lost faith in mankind – in essence, a gift to all. I AM ONCE AGAIN, VERY PROUD TO BE A CALGARIAN!! BRAVO!!
