Kitimat RCMP and Kyle’s No Frills need YOUR help to Cram the Cruiser again!

This Saturday the RCMP will have a police cruiser parked in the parking lot in front of Kyle’s No Frills, ready to receive donations from the public towards the Kitimat Food Bank.

The donations of non-perishable grocery items will go towards supporting local families who may just need that extra bit of help to have a happy festive season.

Cram the Cruiser will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., so get on down to Kyle’s No Frills, open your heart and open that wallet!
