The Prince George RCMP asked shoppers to Cram-A-Cruiser outside two local Save-On-Foods last weekend, and cram they did.
The campaign collected 3,000 pounds of food and more than $1,600 in cash and gift cards for the Salvation Army Food Bank on Saturday, Dec. 14.
Police officers and other volunteers greeted shoppers on their way into the grocery stores, asking for donations of food and toiletries for the Salvation Army Food Bank.
"The residents of Prince George did not disappoint us this year," stated Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, media relations officer with the Prince George RCMP. "We exceeded all expectations and we have the generosity of those who participated to thank for such an amazing result. 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."
The police service also thanked Save-On-Foods for hosting the event.
