RCMP’s ‘Stuff the Cruiser’ food drive returns to Chilliwack and other Fraser Valley locales

Nov 29, 2024 | 4:04 PM

CHILLIWACK – Agassiz, Hope, Boston Bar, and Chilliwack are destinations across the Fraser Valley and area hosting the RCMP’s annual Stuff the Cruiser food drive over the next three weeks.

The campaign is in its 15th year, and six locations in Chilliwack will be taking non-perishable food items and cash donations on Saturday, November 30.

“This initiative has grown to become one of the largest contributors to local food banks, bringing communities together to help those in need during the festive season,” the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment said in an email.

“The event’s success is made possible by the support of local businesses and residents.”

RCMP officers will be joined by some of Chilliwack’s first responders between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday at these locations:
