Huntsville Fire – Ways to Donate
Online using the link below – If you can not donate in person I am providing this as an alternative. All money donated online will be given by me directly to the Legion. I spoke with Bob Locke the president of the Legion and he said EVERY NICKEL donated will be used to help the people affected. To ensure all money is accounted for I put your name and amount given in the table below and show proof that all money was given to the Legion.
In person at the Salvation Army – The Salvation army is accepting donations in the form of clothing and furniture. I have heard that they are giving four outfits for free and everything after that must be paid for. If anyone can clear up the situation it would be appreciated
In person at the Legion – The Legion is accepting clothing, furniture and monetary donations. Everything given will go directly to the people affected by the fire.
Mail a money order: Here is the address to the Legion.
Legion Address:
21 Veterans Way
Huntsville Ontario
P1H 1P3
Be sure to specify what the money is for.
I am not a registered charity, I am just trying to help. I am using my computer knowledge to make it easy for people to donate who otherwise may not do so. If you can donate directly to the Salvation Army or to the families involved please do so. However if you can not make it into Huntsville to donate, or do not know where or how to donate, or if you live to far away then please donate here. All of the donations I receive will go DIRECTLY to the charities. All money donated will be displayed on this site. Please give generously and ask your friends and family to do so as well as many people have lost everything due to this fire. Thank you

I have taken all of the money donated in person to the Legion. I spoke with Bob Locke, the president of the Legion and he stated that all of the money given for the fire victims will go directly to them in some form or another (most will help pay for first and last months rent for a new apartment) below is the receipt.
The legion is also taking clothing donations and furniture donations – Please call them at 789-4641

I have taken all of the money that was donated online and deposited it into the trust fund at CIBC
The $100 donated by me (the first one) was donated through Deerhurst Resort. I work there and they had a great way to donate directly off a paycheck so I decided to use that method to donate the $100.

WOW!!!! WTG. Thank you so very much for posting this site. Many people have been asking me how to donate. They live out of town but still want to do something. You have been doing an amazing job! Keep up the great work. The people affected by this is so greatful for everything you are doing. The community is very lucky to have someone as caring as you helping with this terrible situation.. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU…..
It’s nice to see the donations starting to come in.We have a long way to go in making these people’s lives more comfortable. Take the time this Thanksgiving to see all you have to be thankful for and give to help those that have lost everything.So remember to GIVE and make those unfortunate people have something to be thankful for also.
can you please let me know where I can mail a money order to…. I would like to make a donation but don’t have a credit card and really don’t want a pay pal acct… tyvm
For mail in donations I would suggest mailing your cheque or money order directly to the charity so either the Salvation Army or the Huntsville Legion. Please make sure you specify that the money is to be used solely for aid of the people affected by the fire.
Well done, Jeremy!
One of my pet peeves, Jeremy, regarding such a catastrophic event. Did you read any thing about it in the media? It is in the BR Banner, and HV Forester, and rightfully so, but everything from fires to weather escapes the navel-gazing of Toronto media!
Hi Jeremy, could you please get me the address for the Huntsville Legion, I live in Grimsby Ontario so I really don’t have a clue on the address,,, and I want to make sure it gets sent to the right place thanks .. mary
Jeremy, me again! You can also donate through CanadaHelps.org to Huntsville Salvation Army! I know that PayPal steals a percentage if you go through them!
