The friendly smack talk has begun, as the Dauphin RCMP detachment and Dauphin Fire Department (DFD) compete to see who can collect more food donations in support of the Dauphin and District Community Food Bank (DDCFB).
“We want to win, but it’s a great way to have a friendly competition and give back to the community that we love,” said Dauphin RCMP Cst. Schirmacher.
Cram The Cruiser
The Dauphin RCMP detachment is asking the community to help “Cram the Cruiser” and with non-perishable food items between Dec. 3rd to the 6th.
A decorated police truck is currently in front of the detachment, where food items can easily be loaded in the back of the truck.
For those who can’t make it down to the detachment, the RCMP will arrange to come to you on Saturday December 5th to pick up food donations between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.
Call 204-622-5020 to arrange a pickup with the Dauphin RCMP on Saturday.
“I just want Cam Abrey to know that we’re going to do everything we can to try and win the competition, so he better bring his A-game,” said Cst. Carleigh Schirmacher.
Pack the Pumper
Dauphin Fire Chief Cam Abrey jokingly fired back saying his competitors "know we’re always on our A-game.”
You can help the DFD win the competition by helping “Pack the Pumper” and drop off non-perishable food items at the Fire Hall.
Abrey says donations can be dropped off anytime between 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. this week.
He asks that you just ring the doorbell at the public entrance for a contactless drop-off.
Like the RCMP, the fire department will also come to you to collect food donations on Saturday, Dec. 5th.
Just call the DFD at 204-622-3100 to arrange a pickup on Saturday between Noon and 3 p.m.
Sunday, Dec. 6th is the last day for food donations.
