Coquitlam RCMP officers are looking forward to accepting food and cash donations for the Share food bank; last year's event brought in nearly 600 pounds of food and $1,525.

Cram your grocery cart this week so you can help the Coquitlam Mounties at their annual Cram the Cruiser event in support of the Share food bank.

On Saturday, Dec. 10 Coquitlam RCMP officers and volunteers will be aiming to fill up as many police cars as they can with non-perishable food items donated by the community. Last year's event — held in the midst of a sudden winter storm — brought in nearly 600 pounds of food and more than $1,500 in donations.

"We are so grateful to the fine men and women of the Coquitlam RCMP, not only for all they do to support Share and our community programs and initiatives but also for their tireless work to keep Coquitlam a safe and supported place to live," said Valerie Hutton, Share's director of development, in a release.

Cram the Cruiser is on Saturday, Dec. 10 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Real Canadian Superstore (Westwood Street and Lougheed Highway, Coquitlam).
