Wanted: toys and cash to Stuff a Cruiser

The Kelowna RCMP is partnering with the Kelowna Salvation Army once again this holiday season for the annual Stuff a Cruiser toy campaign.

Officers will set up the cruiser and toy donation boxes on Saturday November 30th from 10:00am – 4:00pm at two locations so donating is easier. One of the cruisers will be parked at the Kelowna RCMP detachment in the parking lot along Clement Avenue and another cruiser will be stuffed at Toys R Us at 2020 Harvey Avenue.

All donations will benefit the local Salvation Army and families in the Okanagan. If you are able to make a donation, please drop off an unwrapped toy at either of the two locations and officers and volunteers will stuff the toys into the police cruisers, says Cpl Michael Gauthier, Kelowna RCMP Media Relations Officer.

The toys collected during Stuff a Cruiser will be used as gifts for families in need this holiday season.
Last year this event raised over $11,000 and 500 toys thanks a matching donation from Stutters Restoration in West Kelowna.

If you cannot attend, and wish to donate before the event, donations will be accepted at the Kelowna RCMP Detachment, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
