Relief for 亚洲天堂 Lake is coming once again from The Postmen in Prince Rupert.
Kristen Frank, a volunteer with the non-profit organization, has arranged a second depot and she鈥檚 asking for a few specific items to help firefighters and evacuees affected by the ongoing wildfires in the 亚洲天堂 Lake area.
鈥淭he people we delivered to last time were in 亚洲天堂 Lake as well,鈥 Frank said. She has compiled a more specific donation list this time after touching base with front line firefighters.
鈥淭hese are the things that firemen actually need on the other side.鈥
The Postmen are looking for: canned and powdered milk, instant mashed potatoes, potatoes, root vegetables, breads, gift cards for gasoline, electrolyte drinks, such as Gatorade, cough candies, mint candies and RespirActin, a tonic that helps open airways.
