The Lookout Emergency Aid Society is warning residents not to donate to anyone who claims to be canvassing for them door-to-door.

The Lookout Emergency Aid Society is warning residents not to donate to anyone who claims to be canvassing for them door-to-door.

The organization is issuing the warning after a North Vancouver resident was approached by a canvasser claiming to be collecting donations for Lookout, which operates the North Shore Housing Centre and Shelter on Second Avenue in North Vancouver.

Community liaison worker David Newberry said the organization doesnt solicit donations door to door, and encouraged residents to contact the RCMP if they were contacted that way.

He said the best way for people interested in making a donation to do so is on their website at lookoutsociety.ca.
