The Prince George RCMP is once again teaming up with the community to support the Salvation Army this holiday season.
On Saturday, Dec. 14, officers and local volunteers will gather donations for those in need at several Save-On-Foods locations in the city.
From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., shoppers will be encouraged to bring non-perishable food items, toiletries, and unwrapped gifts for the Salvation Army’s holiday programs.
The initiative challenges community members to help "cram" as many donations into a police cruiser as possible throughout the day.
“We will be filling up our police cruisers with donations as many times as we can,” stated Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, media relations officer for the Prince George RCMP. “The Salvation Army has been a key partner in supporting our victim services program, and this is our way of giving back.”
Donations sought include items such as peanut butter, canned beans, pasta, rice, coffee, diapers, feminine hygiene products and gift cards. The RCMP is also accepting cash donations.
Shoppers can easily contribute by picking up a few extra items during their shopping trip and donating them on their way out of the store.
Anyone interested in volunteering can call 250-561-3366 for more information.
