CLS (Central Logistic Solutions) is accepting monetary donations through e-transfer: [email protected]
"All of this money will go towards purchasing supplies and gift cards so people can start rebuilding their lives," the company said on Facebook.
Employees are also accepting donations at the company's warehouse at 4250 47 Ave. in Olds Monday to Thursday from 6 to 10 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
They are also accepting donations during the day but if people wish to donate that way, they must arrange that via the CLS office because the company does not have anyone in the warehouse during the day. That can be arranged by calling 1-877-208-2929.
CLS will also pick up donations at businesses.
The plan is to load up and leave Olds Saturday, May 14 at 10 a.m.
"We are going to go to various camps and shelters where the residents are being temporarily housed to drop off supplies," the company says. "We would also like volunteers to help unload the truck."
Anyone who has any questions about this endeavour is urged to call 403-556-7718 Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you need to contact the company outside those hours, please call 403-559-9805.
