It started last year as a fun challenge between the Dauphin RCMP and Dauphin Fire Department and this year, it's back in full force.
The Food Drive Challenge begins on Wednesday and runs until next Wednesday and this year, the DFD is looking for some revenge. The RCMP raised about a tonne of non-perishable food items last year as they nearly doubled the DFD.
But Cam Abrey says they're ready for this year.
"We're hoping that we can top up our donations and pack the pumper," said the Fire Chief. "This is such a great cause for the Dauphin and District Food Bank and we're happy to be a part of it."
You can donate your non-perishable food items by heading to the Fire Department. And you can also donate them to the Dauphin Detachment. If you need them to be picked up, Fire Fighters and Officers will be available throughout the week.
You can call the DFD at 622-3100 and the Detachment's number is 622-5020.
