鈥淭his year鈥檚 RCMP Cram the Cruiser saw residents of all ages come out to donate to the annual Lake Country Food Bank fundraiser,鈥� stated Cpl. Jesse O鈥橠onaghey.
鈥淲e are truly grateful for all our donors, especially those who return year after year. Keith Stutters of Stutters Disaster Kleenup in 91大黄鸭 personally attended the 6th Annual Cram the Cruiser event to deliver a truly amazing $3,000 donation to the Lake Country Food Bank, while the owner operators of Kangaroo Creek Farm in Lake Country dropped off a $1,000 donation for their local food bank.鈥�
Together the community raised total of just over 880 pounds of donated items, including non-perishable foods, and $7,796.76 in cash and cheques. Since the inaugural event in 2012, RCMP Cram the Cruiser has raised a total of over 11,000 pounds of donated items and well over $28,500 in cash and cheques solely for the Lake Country Food Bank.
鈥淭he RCMP would like to extend our sincere thanks to our fellow partners and first responders of the Lake Country Volunteer Fire Department, as well as our amazing sponsors who all helped to make this year鈥檚 event such a success,鈥� said O鈥橠onaghey.
