The #albertadayofcaring has proven once again that Albertans are resilient, generous, kind, and stronger together. We are all proud to be in this province and in an industry that’s helping to show just how beautiful Alberta is. ❤️
What a weekend it was! Donations continued to come in through the efforts of radio stations Depots around the province, adding up to an outstanding result. Over $2.9 million is headed towards assisting our neighbours in Jasper, the Little Red River Cree Nation, and beyond.
To everyone who donated, shared, rallied your friends and businesses, volunteered your time at collection sites, worked extra hard (and sometimes late) at Depots: THANK YOU! Every bit has added up to something really special.
If you’re wondering when your local Depot is open this long weekend, head to https://t.co/NEopOVignA for hours and contact information. Check with your local Depot about the #albertadayofcaring bottle drive. Have a safe weekend!
@1003TheBear While Depot staff are re-attaching their butts to get back at it again tomorrow, we want to shout out you and all of the radio stations who collaborated to make this such a successful day!
Wow!! THANK YOU, Alberta and beyond!
We have been absolutely overwhelmed by the support for the Alberta Day of Caring for Jasper fundraiser. Many Depots are still counting containers to add to this total, but over a HALF MILLION dollars has been raised!
Radio broadcasters around the province, community groups, other charities, and all kinds of supporters showed up in such a huge way today. We can't thank you enough. Couldn't stop by today? Depots will be taking donations into the weekend.
All of this is for Jasper. Keep in mind that this is just ONE location. The staff have been counting since they opened. Bottle Depots across Alberta have teamed up with radio stations ACROSS Alberta to encourage listeners to donate their cans. This is incredible.
@rebeccakschulz Thank you for sharing, Minister Schulz!
The https://t.co/BwTTdR95mX link that you included is essential, as all of the Depots are independently owned and operated, so hours and days of operation may vary.
Your support is so appreciated!
July 31st will be the Alberta Day Of Caring. Join in by donating your empties at any Alberta Depot and simply say "these are for Jasper." Find your closest Depot at https://t.co/BwTTdR8xxp
The Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta will match every dollar donated by Canadians to the Canadian Red Cross 2024 Alberta Fires Appeal. This means that every $1 donated will become $3 to support those affected by the wildfires.
