Coquitlam RCMP has partnered with the Share Society and are inviting the public to help Cram the Cruiser on December 7, 2024. As we approach the holiday season, food banks and food hubs are under increased pressure to provide support for people who experience food insecurity.

 We need your help!

Join us to Cram the Cruiser with donations for people in our community.

All donations are collected in partnership with Share Family and Community Services Society to help support people in the community over the holiday season and beyond.

The demand on local food banks has steadily increased, with more people than ever requiring access, said Media Relations Officer, Corporal Alexa Hodgins of Coquitlam RCMP. This is our way to give back to our communities. We want to continue to support those in need, especially around this holiday season.

The holiday season often brings added financial pressure for many families. That burden and stress is held by the adults but felt acutely by the children and teens in the home as well, said Claire MacLean, CEO of Share Family and Community Services. Share’s holiday programs help brighten the lives of 2,000 Tri-Cities families by providing gifts for children and holiday food hampers for families and individuals. With the generous support of the Coquitlam RCMP, we can ensure every family is well-fed and every child has something special to treasure this holiday season.

If community members wish to donate and are looking for specific ideas for donations, some of the items in greatest need are:

We will also be accepting grocery gift cards and cash donations. If you are unable to attend, but would like to contribute, you can donate online.

Thank you for your donation and hope to see you there.
