Prince George RCMP delivered Monday a cube van full of non-perishable food and over $3,600 in cash and gift cards to the Prince George Council of Seniors Christmas hamper program - the result of the "pack-a-police car" effort earlier this month.

"The generosity of the community has been amazing" Cpl. Craig Douglass said. "We are overwhelmed by the donations we received on behalf of the Prince George Council of Seniors and are already looking forward to doing this event next year."

For six hours on Dec. 3, RCMP officers, detachment staff and Citizens on Patrol volunteers collected items from shoppers at the four Save On Foods in the city. Enough was donated to fill 20 vehicles.
