Elk Valley RCMP are inviting you to drop off a cash or non perishable food donation for the Salvation Army Fernie Food Bank this weekend.
The “Pack A PC” event is happening at Fernie’s Save On Foods and Independent Stores in the community Sunday, you’re being tasked with filling a police cruiser with food donations or prepared packages from the store.
Constable Chris Spyker says there are lots of items on the food bank’s wish list.
“Everyone’s been experiencing the ups and downs of this economy,” Spyker says. ” The Salvation Army is fairly based on donations and giving, so they’re struggling as well. I’ve got a list of items that they’re in desperate need of and they’re as basic as soups and pasta and crackers.”
Cash donations will also be accepted on-site.
The event is happening Sunday from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm at the Fernie Save On Foods.

On December 11th 2022 from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM (it depends on how busy we are!), Elk Valley Regional RCMP will be holding a “PACK A PC!” event at that Save On and Independent Stores in Fernie BC. Your Elk Valley RCMP officers and staff will be at both stores, patrol car doors wide open to accept any donations for the Salvation Army Fernie Food Bank. Patrons can purchase prepared packages from the stores (in likely $10, $15 or $25 amounts) OR non-perishable food items from the store and, well, pack the Patrol car full of goods to provide to the food bank and give those in need a better holiday season! Cash donations are accepted on site! Anyone can also purchase a gift card from the store, so the Food Bank can purchase necessary items that Santa left off the sleigh!
Elk Valley RCMP encourages everyone to attend and support this great event on December 11th. All items collected will be turned directly over to the Food Bank! We look forward to seeing you there!
