COQUITLAM RCMP collected 1,400 pounds of food and $1,085.60 in donations for the Share Family and Community Services Society during their Cram the Cruiser events. Coquitlam RCMP thanked the community for their generosity and support to help those in need.

“Our summer Cram the Cruiser event saw an impressive amount of donations and support from the community,” said Media Relations Officer, Cpl. Alexa Hodgins. “We would like to thank everyone who donated at both our locations to support the Share Society.”

Coquitlam RCMP officers, Community Policing volunteers, Metro Vancouver Transit Police, Coquitlam Express and the Share Society attended Safeway in Port Coquitlam and Save-on-Foods in Coquitlam on July 25 to collect donations. The event ran from 2 to 6 p.m. and saw hundreds of attendees donate goods and money for the Share Society.

Share’s Food Bank has seen a significant increase in the number of people seeking help, but together, we are making a difference. By donating at the RCMP’s ‘Cram the Cruiser’ event during Share’s Remember the Food Bank summer campaign, the community has provided healthy food and hope to those who need it most,” said Claire MacLean, Chief Executive Officer, Share Family and Community Services Society.

“Building a thriving community takes a team – Share is so grateful for the leadership of the RCMP, the support of Metro Vancouver Transit Police, the Coquitlam Express Hockey Club and everyone who helped make the Cram the Cruiser event a success. Thank you to everyone who contributed – your compassion is making a real impact.”
