In response to AHS' directive to stop accepting food donations at all AHS facilities, the Regional EMS Foundation is stepping up to ensure that our EMS professionals are being taken care of while they take care of us.

Executive Director of the EMS Foundation, Amanda Frayn explains that they are just looking for gift card or monetary donations. 

"Right now we're just looking for gift card donations or monetary donations and that first $1000 of donated gift cards or money then we will match it from the Regional EMS Foundation and then also the Talk to Me Society will also match it for another $1000"

They are able to accept gift card donations of any denomination.

Some examples of gift card options: grocery store, fast food, coffee shop. You can drop off your donations at the following locations :

■ Canadian Tire Customer Service 11601 104 Ave, Grande Prairie, AB T8V 3X9
■ Any New Horizon Co-op Gas Station in Grande Prairie
● Downtown - 9831 100 AVE

● Stoneridge - 10402 67 AVE
● Westgate - 11540 104 AVE
● Royal Oaks - 10505 117 AVE


They will also accept email donations to accounting@remsfoundation.org (please specify the donation is
for the EMS Care Initiative)


Donations received will be matched by the Regional EMS Foundation up to a total donation of $1000 AND matched by the Talk To Me Society for another $1000.

The Care packages will be coordinated with AHS EMS and distributed to stations in the region.
