Broadcasters from across Manitoba have raised over $400-thousand in their Manitoba Day of Caring for Wildfire Evacuees Campaign.

Last Thursday, more than 30 radio stations across the province joined forces to support those displaced by wildfires with donations to the Red Cross Manitoba Wildfires Appeal.

So far, over 14-thousand people have registered with the Canadian Red Cross after being forced from their homes due to ongoing wildfires.

Many are currently being housed in emergency shelters in Winnipeg, Thompson, Winkler and Portage la Prairie.

Thanks to a matching initiative from both the federal and Manitoba governments, every dollar donated is tripled.

The matching program continues through June 27.

Donations can still be made online at redcross.ca or by texting RADIO to 20222 to donate $10.
