Branch locations are accepting donations across Canada

With flood levels in areas of British Columbia at their highest level in 70 years and no sign of receding, nine banks have come together to accept customer donations at branch locations across Canada to help the Canadian Red Cross deliver immediate and long-lasting relief for those affected.

Banks are also making corporate contributions, mobilizing employee fundraising and arranging special payment options for people impacted by the floods.

Local Red Cross volunteers are on the ground providing critical support services including family reunification and registration, lodging, food, first aid, reception and information, and cots and blankets. The Red Cross has additional volunteers and supplies pre-positioned and ready to be deployed if needed.
