THE BATTLEFORDS — Battlefords RCMP held a fill-the-cruiser event Dec. 9 to help stock the Battlefords District Food and Resource Centre’s shelves this holiday season.
Officers collected donations for the food bank outside Walmart on Carlton Trail, the Discovery Co-op Food Store at Territorial Place Mall and Sobeys on Territorial Drive.
More than 15,000 pounds of food and $1,300 in donations were collected.
“It took over an hour for nine people to load it all into a truck to take it to the food bank,” says Sgt. Chris Stephens from the Battlefords RCMP.
“We’re so thankful to the community members and local businesses who showed their kindness and generosity. We’re proud to be part of this community.”
