How You Can Support Relief Efforts

We know many community members are asking how they can help during this emergency. Your support means so much to evacuees, first responders, and all those working hard to keep Kings County safe. Here are some safe and effective ways to contribute:

Help our firefighters and first responders 

Do not bring food or supplies directly to fire lines or stations. If you’d like to support, please connect with your local Fire Department or the Kings County Fire Service Association to see how donations (like gift cards for gas, meals, or groceries) can be pooled safely.

Back our community organizations 
Local service groups, churches, and community organizations are also stepping up to provide meals, temporary supports, and connection for evacuees. Consider contributing to these efforts.

Show moral support 
A simple “thank you,” a supportive sign, or checking in on neighbours goes a long way to keeping spirits strong.

Stay safe and informed 
Please continue following official updates, respect evacuation orders, and wait for official notice before returning home.

Thank you, Kings County. Your offers of support show the strength and resilience of our community. Together, we will get through this.
