]]> Support Wildfire Relief for First Responders & Military Personnel https://legacyplacesociety.com/supporting-wildfire-relief-2023/ Sat, 19 Aug 2023 01:15:02 +0000 https://legacyplacesociety.com/?p=4564 Supporting Wildfire Relief: Donate to Legacy Place Society’s Crisis Fund for First Responders

The wildfires currently affecting British Columbia, Alberta, and the Northwest Territories have created significant challenges for both families and first responders. As many families are forced to relocate, first responders, including firefighters, paramedics, and police officers, are risking their lives to protect communities from the flames. The loss of personal belongings and the devastation to homes are just a few of the ongoing hardships that people are facing.

Legacy Place Society is a registered charity dedicated to providing critical support to first responders, veterans, and military personnel and their families during times of crisis. As these wildfires continue to ravage various regions, Legacy Place is committed to offering relief and resources to affected communities.

How Can I Help?

To assist in this ongoing relief effort, donate to Legacy Place Society’s wildfire relief fund. You can make a secure donation through Canada Helps by visiting this link. When donating, please include the region you wish to support in the memo area. Legacy Place Society will ensure that the funds are distributed to the communities that need them most.

Canada Helps retains a 4% administration fee, which Legacy Place Society covers through our existing contract. As a result, 100% of your donation will directly support those affected by the wildfires. We will also provide regular updates on which communities are receiving support and how your contribution is making a difference.

Donate today to help first responders, military personnel, and families in need during this devastating crisis. Your generosity will provide vital resources and relief to those who are on the front lines of this ongoing emergency.

For any inquiries or more information, please contact Diana Festejo, Executive Director of Legacy Place Society, at 403-813-8019 or via email at info@legacyplacesociety.com.

We stand with the first responders, veterans, military personnel, and their families. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the wildfires. Stay safe and healthy during these challenging times.
