A bottle drive in support of the people affected by a downtown Red Deer apartment fire is being held all weekend.

Donations are being accepted in the parking lot across from the destroyed building at 5129 50th Ave. until 8 p.m. on Saturday and again on Sunday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Money will go toward The Mustard Seed, which is also accepting monetary donations, hygiene items and clothing for the tenants as part of a fundraising campaign in partnership with the City of Red Deer.
