The Editor, The Richmond Oxfam Committee would like to thank all of those who donated last week at the Richmond Centre Mall.
We collected almost $4,000 over five days, which will mean $8,000 to those helping "on the ground" in the Philippines, when supplemented by the Canadian government.
Here are some examples of how your donations could help: $45 could provide 10 Oxfam buckets designed to keep water safe; $85 could provide 100 emergency health kits; $200 could provide shelter for a family made homeless.
The citizens of Richmond have once again come to the fore in helping the less fortunate.
Carol Rennie and Orval Chapman Richmond Oxfam Committee
