On November 15, 2021, the town of Merritt and area saw extensive flooding which led to the entire town of 7000 people being evacuated. As people are being allowed back into their homes the devastation will continue to be revealed. Large parts of the town have been affected slightly, while other parts are catastrophically affected.
The Merritt Rotary Club has set up a Disaster Relief fund to help families and individuals who have been severely affected by the flooding.
The funds will be based on donations from Individual Rotary members, Rotary Clubs and non-Rotary individuals and organizations. Fund proceeds will be used to provide financial support to individuals in need to help them on their path to recovery.
The Rotary Club of Merritt is registered as a charitable organization with the Canada Revenue Agency. This registration designates the Society as a Qualified Donee for organizations that require this designation as a basis for providing donations. It also allows us to provide tax receipts for those donating to the fund. For those requiring receipts, please include your full name, mailing address and email address in the message box for e-transfers.
Donations can be made by cheque to the Merritt Rotary Club Society at PO Box 938 Merritt, BC V1K 1B8 or by e-transfer to connect@rotarymerritt.com
