2nd annual toy drive in Lake Country

Now in its second year, the Lake Country RCMP will be hosting their annual Toy Drive for the Lake Country Food Bank this December.

New, unwrapped toys will be donated to the Lake Country Food Banks Christmas Hamper Program, helping less fortunate families have a happy holiday.

The Lake Country RCMP and the Lake Country Food Bank first collaborated in 2012 with the inception of Cram the Cruiser.

The partnership, with the support of local businesses, has hosted holiday fundraising events that have raised a total of over 14,500 pounds of donated items, 235 unwrapped gifts and just over $50,056 in cash and cheques for the Lake Country Food Bank.

“As we enter into the festive holiday season during another unprecedented year of uncertain times, we are seeking donations of unwrapped new toys for gifts under the tree for children in need,” states Sgt. John Collins, Detachment Commander for the Lake Country Detachment.

“We know this year has been so tough on us all. We have a great sense of community within Lake Country and are grateful for the generosity and support in times of need for those that need it most.”

From now until Dec. 10, community members can drop off their toy or monetary donations to the Lake Country RCMP Detachment on Berry Road.
