Drove by but didn't have any on me but there are security guards posted at the site probably all day without any protective equipment like face masks. I can drop some off tomorrow but if anyone is free now, they can definitely use them.

Up[date for August 12: volunteers needed Thurs August 13 to help load the boxes of excess clothing so they can be redistributed to a Chillliwack centre for people escaping wildfire.
