Around 60,000 Fort McMurray evacuees have visited the distribution centre since doors opened on May 9. A local non-profit coordinating the relief effort for people displaced by the Fort McMurray wildfire is putting out a call for more volunteers. The Edmonton Emergency Relief Services Society (EERSS) has roughly 200 volunteers helping daily at the Fort McMurray donation distribution centre at Kingsway Mall, down from 900 volunteers that were assisting in the days following the mandatory evacuation. The distribution centre is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The lineup outside the distribution centre on Friday wrapped around the building, as many evacuees visited the centre for the second or third time to restock items for re-entry into Fort McMurray beginning June 2.
