First responders and the local Walmart in Squamish are preparing for the return of Cram the Cruiser in response to the Squamish Community Christmas Care’s call for support.

On Saturday November 23, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., local RCMP will be at the Walmart parking lot at 39210 Discovery Way to collect donations of new unwrapped toys, non-perishable food items, gift cards, and/or money for the cause. These contributions will go directly toward supporting local families and ensuring everyone in our community experiences a joyful holiday season.

If community members wish to donate and are looking for specific ideas for necessaries, food items that contribute to a holiday meal will be appreciated, as will other foods including canned vegetables and fruit, healthy snacks like crackers, granola bars, or fruit cups, and coffee and tea.

This event is about bringing our community together and spreading holiday cheer, said Staff Sergeant Gareth Bradley. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a big difference in someone’s holiday. We encourage everyone to stop by, say hello, and help make this season brighter for others.

Community members are invited to join Squamish RCMP and other local first responder organizations at Walmart to learn more about how their donations will impact those in need. The Squamish RCMP would like to thank Walmart Squamish for their partnership and support in making this event possible. We look forward to seeing the community come together once again to spread kindness and holiday spirit.

Anyone with any information regarding any file is asked to contact the Squamish RCMP at 604-892-6100, or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, or go to the website www.solvecrime.ca
