• high protein food such as peanut butter
• canned chili, salmon, beans, ham and stew
• oatmeal
• pancake syrup and mix
• pet food
• baby formula, food and diapers
• toiletries
• school supplies

All donations collected from the Cram a Cruiser event stay in Strathcona County, in support of the Strathcona Christmas Bureau and Strathcona Food Bank.

Enforcement Services will be collecting donations on Tuesday, December 10 at Save-on-Foods, 60 Broadway Boulevard, from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.
