The Dauphin Fire Department is once again going up against the Dauphin RCMP for a good cause.
The 3rd annual Food Bank Challenge is underway, and you can choose to either Pack the Pumper or Cram the Cruiser. From now until Sunday, you can donate non-perishable items that will then be given to the Dauphin Food Bank. Items accepted include dry cereal, pasta and pasta sauce, canned meat and canned fish, canned beans, canned soups, canned fruit and vegetables, mac and cheese, and cartons of juice.
The Dauphin RCMP has had the upper hand in the first two years in this fun challenge. Cam Abrey says you can also donate cash if you would like to do that.
"Last year we (DFD) had around $700 in cash that was donated as a part of this challenge," said Abrey.
Abrey says it has been an excellent experience working alongside the RCMP in a non-emergency response situation. You can take any donations to the Dauphin Fire Department between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. until Sunday. If you can't drop off your donation, call to arrange for pick up at 622-3100.
You can also deliver any donations to the Dauphin RCMP Detachment.
