At the recently held Stuff-A-Cruiser food drive put on by East Hants RCMP in conjunction with the Caring & Sharing Angel Tree Food bank, there was plenty of smiles to go around outside the Elmsdale Sobeys as donations were dropped off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the end, more than $1,100 was donated in monetary and gift card donations by residents who were stopping by to shop on a Saturday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of those making a food drive donation was a young boy who his mom said saw what the officers and volunteers were doing an wanted to help out himself. He donated two bags of food to the food drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ADVERTISEMENT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”190″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”206″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Const.
