Canadian Red Cross
The Red Cross has set up an emergency 'Alberta Fires' appeal page for financial donations. You can also visit any Canadian Red Cross office or call 1-800-418-1111. And you can text REDCROSS to 30333 to make a $5 donation, or text FIRES to 45678 to make a $10 donation.
The agency says Canadians have so far donated $44 million in support of relief efforts. On Thursday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the federal government will match individual donations made to the Canadian Red Cross. The following day, he said the government will not put a financial cap on donations made from May 3 to 31.
For Fort McMurray evacuees who have not yet registered with the Red Cross, the agency is strongly encouraging them to register online or call 1-888-350-6070.
