Helping those in need this season, West Shore RCMP deliver holiday hampers

West Shore

For the past few years West Shore RCMP Officers and Municipal Staff have come together to donate holiday hampers to families in need.

This year our staff purchased and donated approximately $2500 worth of food that was distributed into 17 holiday hampers. These hampers were delivered to families experiencing food insecurity in the West Shore.

The second scene is officer carrying out hamper to a police vehicle and loading them in the truck. The officers then seen smiling and waving. The third scene officers take the hamper out the back of the vehicle and place it at a door step.

 

It’s no secret that the average grocery bill has gone up this year. The need for healthy nutritious food is high and we enjoyed putting these hampers together for our community members, said Cst. Cole Brewer, West Shore RCMP Indigenous Policing Unit.

If you are able to, please consider donating to your local food bank this holiday season. Happy Holidays from West Shore RCMP.
