Donations Flood In

There's been an overwhelming response to Family and Children Services Rainy River call for donations for the Pikangikum First Nation.

Jacquee Loerzell estimates nearly seven thousand pounds worth of children's clothing and food items have been received.

"It went amazing," says Loerzell. "We're absolutely shocked at how much stuff we ended up collected for the community and how absolutely the (local) community has been to us over the past few weeks."

Loerzell says they're now looking to either fly and truck the items to the reserve by mid-January.
