Specific donations from the list can be dropped off at the Bonnyville Baptist Church, located at 4111-43 Ave.
Smith says the store will be running for a while longer so organizers are looking for volunteers to help run the “store”. Please text 780-812-9329 or call 780-826-4801 if you would like to sign up for a specific shift, or sign up on the schedule at the church.
