Event put on by Prince George RCMP also raises $2,800 in cash and gift cards
Shoppers donated nearly 8,000 pounds of food and over $2,800 in cash and gift cards during the Prince George RCMP's Cram-a-Cruiser event on Saturday.
"We exceeded all expectations and we have the generosity of those who participated to thank for such an amazing result," Cpl. Jennifer Cooper said. RCMP cruisers were parked outside the Hart, Spruceland and College Heights Save-Ons where police officers, municipal employees, 911 dispatchers and other volunteers collected the donations. They will go to the Salvation Army food bank.
"The Salvation Army is a valuable partner, as they work closely with our RCMP Victim Services unit, helping families during times of crisis. This was an opportunity for us to give back to their organization," Cooper said.
