Helping Wildfire Evacuees Across Canada

Samaritan’s Purse Canada continues to respond to the devastating wildfires impacting communities across our provinces.

Thank you for your prayers as we help the most vulnerable in Jesus’ Name. These situations are dynamic, as fire threats can suddenly change with shifting winds and rainfall. We praise God for people like you, who we can rely on to pray for and support this vital ministry.

As residents are moved to safer host communities, our team of Mass Care specialists is facilitating safe and secure shelter, providing spiritual and emotional support, and providing activities for children, youth, and families.

Volunteers at our Calgary warehouse location are working tirelessly to put together care kits, including pillows, blankets, hygiene supplies, and other essential items, to meet the urgent needs of so many hurting Canadians.

Over 70 wildfires are burning across Canada, many out of control, and more than 30,000 people have been evacuated. Emergency Management and Climate Readiness, British Columbia, has Samaritan’s Purse Canada on alert to provide further mass care resources for potential evacuees in Northern British Columbia.

Please join us in praying for everyone affected by the ongoing wildfires. Pray also for first responders, government personnel, and our teams on the ground as they provide crucial support and loving care.

Canadian Disaster Response

Our team responds to natural disaster crises with direct assistance and a message of hope.

We mobilize specialized staff and equipment as well as hundreds of volunteers to provide emergency aid and help with cleanup in the wake of severe wildfires, floods, hurricanes, tornados, and more. Over the last 20 years, we have helped over 20,000 Canadian communities recover from disasters. We work together with local and federal emergency response efforts to further our recovery and support efforts.

Samaritan's Purse Canada's Mass Care Program delivers rapid, compassionate relief to disaster evacuees across Canada. With two mobile units based in Calgary and Hamilton, we can establish 500-bed mass care centres within hours, providing cots, hygiene kits, and privacy screens. Our trained responders ensure safe, dignified environments, easing the burden on host communities. By partnering with local authorities, we support vulnerable populations during crises like floods or wildfires, offering stability and hope in Jesus' Name.

Success Stories

“When all the volunteers showed up, there were so many of them I lost count at like 20. We all gathered in the front yard of our house, and we prayed, and everybody came in and just went to work. They got so much done in such a short amount of time.”

—Tracy, a homeowner whose home was damaged during Hurricane Helene.
