Prince George RCMP is giving Santa a hand again this year, gathering donations of non-perishable food, toiletries and un-wrapped gifts for the Salvation Army.
On Saturday, December 14th, from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., Mounties and community volunteers will be outside several Save-On-Foods locations throughout Prince George, to cram a police cruiser full of donations.
“We will fill our police cruisers with donations as many times as we can during the day. The Salvation Army has been generous in assisting our Victim Services program over the years and this is our way of returning that generosity,” stated Cpl. Jennifer Cooper.
Police will be collecting donations of non-perishable food items, cash and gift cards. Here are some examples of items we are looking for:
- Peanut butter
- Canned beans in sauce
- Rolled or instant oats
- Canned vegetables
- Canned soup
- Pasta and sauce
- Macaroni and cheese
- Rice
- Coffee or tea
- Canned fish or meat
- size 5 or 6 diapers and Pull Ups
- Feminine hygiene products
Anyone interested in volunteering to help out with this event, please contact the Prince George RCMP Community Policing office at 250-561-3366.
