Canadians helping Canadians

Welcome to AidNet

AidNet is a free, Canada-wide community service that connects people affected by wildfires, floods, and landslides with individuals, businesses, charities, and organizations offering goods and practical services.

AidNet exists to connect people, not to coordinate relief efforts.

People seeking assistance can search available listings and contact Aid Providers directly. AidNet does not assign assistance, manage volunteers, verify individual needs, or coordinate deliveries.

Goods and services only. AidNet does not accept, process, or facilitate financial donations.
