B.C. Wildfire Response 2023

CDR Volunteer Application - Generic

Thousands of people have been evacuated and have been left with severely damaged properties and destroyed homes in the aftermath of wildfires in the Shuswap, British Columbia. Samaritan's Purse is deploying staff, volunteers and specialty equipment, including a fully equipped Disaster Relief Unit to assist home owners in need.

Join us as we share the love of Jesus by offering tangible help to residents. Volunteers will assist with tasks such as debris removal, property clean-up, and ash-sifting. Please note volunteers must be clean shaven and complete a fit test before they will be allowed to start on the work site.

Volunteers will receive an on-site orientation, and will serve with an experienced Site Leadership Team. All equipment, tools, and personal protective equipment will be provided. Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age, and youth ages 16 and 17 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Volunteers must provide their own transportation to and from the Shuswap response location, as well as to work sites. Once on site, meals will be provided including a bagged lunch, snacks and bottled water for day volunteers.

Volunteer shifts operate Monday-Saturday from 8am-5pm. All volunteers must be available to attend orientation on their first day beginning at 7:30am. Please note: we do not work on Sundays.

We are no longer accepting volunteer applications for the West Kelowna response location.
