THE BATTLEFORDS — The Battlefords RCMP is once again teaming up with the Battlefords District Food and Resource Centre to host their annual "Fill-the-Cruiser" food drive on Saturday, Dec. 7.
From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., RCMP officers will be collecting food and cash donations outside Wal-Mart on Carlton Trail, Discover Co-op Food Store at Territorial Place Mall, and Sobeys on Territorial Drive. The goal is to fill an RCMP cruiser with donations to support the local food bank and help families in need during the holidays.
“Last year Battlefords RCMP’s Fill-the-Cruiser collected more than 15,000 lbs of food for our shelves which was absolutely amazing. The food hamper programs we offer are helping more than 2,100 people every month – almost 50 per cent are children,” said Erin Katerynych, Executive Director of the Battlefords District Food and Resource Centre.
“We encourage everyone to stop by, chat with our officers, donate, and make a difference,” said Cpl. Steve Bell, with Battlefords RCMP.
All donations will go to the Battlefords District Food and Resource Centre to support local families this holiday season.
