Creston crams the Cruiser for huge success

The Creston RCMP Charity Foundation raised more than $2,000 and collected over 500 pounds of food at its annual Cram the Cruiser event on Nov. 29.

Held at Pealow’s Independent Grocer, the event supports the Creston food bank and local elementary school breakfast programs. This year’s campaign saw a strong turnout and community spirit, according to organizers.

“This yearly event is one of the highlights of my year,” said Staff Sgt. Brandon Buliziuk, detachment commander. “We get to see the whole community come together and support each other in providing for children and their families.”

The fundraising total, along with hundreds of pounds of donated food, will go directly toward supporting families in need this winter.

Buliziuk thanked residents for their generosity and said the RCMP is looking forward to continuing the tradition in the years to come.

“We can’t thank the public enough for the continued support of our fundraising initiatives,” he said.
