The Comox Valley RCMP, in partnership with the Real Canadian Superstore and the Comox Valley Food Bank, is prepping for its "Cram the Cruiser" food drive event this weekend.
The community can help out on Saturday between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. at the Superstore in Courtenay to help fill a police cruiser with non-perishable food donations and support those in need after the holiday season.
"After the holidays, donations tend to slow down, but hunger doesn’t take a break," says Constable Monika Terragni, Comox Valley RCMP.
"We’re asking the community to come out and show their support for those who continue to need help after the New Year."
While the season of giving often peaks before Christmas, the need for food donations remains critical in the months that follow. January and February are especially challenging for food banks as supplies run low.
This event provides an excellent opportunity for the community to come together and ensure families in the Comox Valley continue to have access to essential food items.
RCMP officers will be on-site, ready to pack their cruiser full of food donations. Representatives from the Real Canadian Superstore and the Comox Valley Food Bank will also be present to highlight the impact the donations will have.
In addition to the food drive, there will be a BBQ by donation.
How to Help:
- Drop off non-perishable food items at the event.
- Make a monetary donation directly to the Comox Valley Food Bank.
- Spread the word and encourage friends and family to participate.
