This Saturday and Sunday is the RCMP’s annual Stuff the Cruiser event in Quesnel.
Each year, the local Mounties set up a police cruiser in Quesnel’s Walmart parking lot and fill it with donations from the public. Often, an additional cruiser or trailer is needed due to the generosity of the Quesnel community.
This year, the cruiser will be in the parking lot on Rita Road on December 6 and 7 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Police are asking the community to bring donations of non-perishable foods, unopened toys for children, winter clothing, and hygiene products. The RCMP will gather all donations and give them to local food banks, seniors, and Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Quesnel.
Last year’s event was another successful one. Police said they received $4,583 in cash and gift cards, 2,028 pounds of food, over 800 toys, and numerous personal hygiene and clothing donations.
