Dauphin RCMP has come away with the bragging rights after a friendly competition against the Dauphin Fire Department (DFD).
Both parties were collecting food donations between Dec. 3rd to the 6th for the Dauphin and District Community Food Bank (DDCFB).
The RCMP’s ‘Cram the Cruiser’ initiative collected about 1,100 kg of non-perishable food during the four day period — besting the 500 kg collected by the DFD in their 'Pack the Pumper' initiative.
“It was definitely a fun competition, great spirit,” says Dauphin Fire Chief Cam Abrey, adding “it was a great effort by the community as well with all their donations.”
Both the Dauphin RCMP and the fire department went out collecting donations on Saturday, which Cst. Schirmacher says highlighted just how well the community came together for a good cause.
“We got calls all the way out to Gilbert Plains to do pickups, it’s amazing. It’s wonderful to be part of such a great community.”
