The South Cariboo showed their true spirit of giving by supporting in a big way two charitable events that took place Friday December 12.
100 Mile House RCMP along with BC Highway Patrol and BC Conservation Service teamed up with Fresh Co to host the “Cram the Cruiser” food drive.
“In total 195 donation bags were purchased and donated in addition to several hundred dollars in cash donations,” RCMP Sargeant Brian Lamb said, “The donated items were distributed to the 100 Mile Food Bank and Loaves and Fishes.”
Later that night members of 100 Mile House RCMP and 100 Mile Fire Rescue took to the ice for the annual “Guns and Hoses” charity hockey game at the South Cariboo Rec Centre.
“Approximately 300 people came out to the rink,” Lamb said, “In total 980 pounds of food and roughly $2000 were donated that will go to the 100 Mile Food Bank.”
The RCMP thank all the volunteers, local merchants and organizations that donated the prizes for this game and the community who made these two events a huge success.
