I have a complete set of 4 steel winter rims with tires and hub caps. Came off a 1998 Volvo S70. I would say the tires have one season of thread on them. I have been told the rims would fit only Volvo. Let me know if your interested.

I know your not supposed to ask for things, but i feel this is certainly something that isnt bad.

My wife and I, along with another couple are taking donations on mostly childrens clothing, but any clothing is welcome to bring to mexico and donate to people who need them. we've done it a few yrs now, the first time it was a free for all, didnt work out to well, now we give out a tickets, and you can go in and trade a ticket for some clothes, this way people arent taking what they dont need. We got together with a local church down there to help. anyways, PM me if you have any clothes you want to send me for us to bring down to mexico.

I would respect the gesture a bit more if it went to help the needy in our own country. all our used clothing goes to the salvation army. I have a good friend that collects used hockey gear and distributes the equipment to less fortunate children that can't afford it in our town. pretty cool of him....

I hear ya!! I have given a lot of clothes to salvation army here. And frankly I will help where and when I can. My family spends 6 mOnths a yr in a little town in Mexico and have grown rather fond of many families down there. We treat them like family and vise versa. It's just that so many of them have nothing.

We also sponsored two local families last Christmas with toys for kids and gift cards for groceries.

I want to help ANYONE that is affected by the Slave Lake fire.

I am offering a spot in my back yard for your trailer/camper. It will hold a 20ft max trailer, with truck. I will offer water to the trailer, power to the trailer, and a fenced yard for your dog, Medium size as we have 3 dogs as well. One is NOT fixed... just warning you. I live 10 mins. south of Westlock, not on an acreage but it works.

I wish I could open my home up, but its pretty full already, with 4 adults, 1 kid and 3 dogs. I will help where ever I can.

I am posting this here first, but if I dont here from anyone in 2 days. I will go to the Westlock Community Hall and post a bulletin with this offer.

There will be many people needing some help and this is what I can offer. I hope it helps. I know some people may not have internet, or able to see this. So, if anyone knows someone from Slave Lake that is in need, TELL THEM about my offer.

Send me a PM and I will send you my number. :d

My thoughts and Prayers to all the people of Slave Lake.

Great idea Mare. I am in Rimbey, which is quite a ways south, but I will offer up the same thing. I have a 70' parking pad in my yard that I park my truck and trailer in, but I will move my junk and open it up for anybody from Slave Lake who needs it. Water and power is right there as well.

Count me in for that too. I am even further away in Airdrie but you never know. I have two spare rooms with queen beds up for grabs to any Slave Laker that needs them.

79 Yamaha YZ 80 parts bike to give away. Got this and another bike from my uncle a few years ago. I had intentions of fixing this up but found out it needs too much work. The engine turns over but my uncle figures the clutch is screwed and the shifter is broken. It was parked about 6-7 years ago and was running at the time(just barely).

Bringing this thread to life again. I was kinda hoping some greenie could make it its own little area but no luck so far.

I am going from Airdrie to Winnipeg next week, anyone need anything taken, I owe at least that since Polarice took some stuff there for me a few months ago.
