  • Community Generosity Demonstrated In Full Force For 2019 In Surrey

Thanks to the generosity of the community, RCMP officers, staff and volunteers, the 2019 Keian’s Holiday Wish Toy Drive and Pack the Police Car charitable campaigns have been a resounding success.


Between December 2 and December 14, the Surrey RCMP accepted donations of cash or new, unwrapped toys for the children at Surrey Memorial Hospital, BC Children’s Hospital, and Canuck Place Hospice in memory of six-year old Keian Blundell. See previous news release.


With the help of the kind-hearted people across Surrey, more than $9400 in cash donations and 1800 toys were collected to make the holidays a little brighter for sick children and their families.


Thank you to everyone who donated so generously, says Constable Mark Peterse. We were overwhelmed by the tremendous response by the community.


Surrey RCMP Officers continued the season of giving by delivering over 3800 pounds of food and over $5,700 cash to local food banks and Christmas hamper programs as part of the detachment’s annual Pack the Police Car events. This year’s events were held at five Save on Foods locations across Surrey between November 23 and December 19, 2019. The donations collected will help people in need in our community.


Time and time again, our community has shown its generosity, said Community Services Officer, Superintendent Shawn Gill. On behalf of Surrey RCMP, thank you to everyone who contributed to helping those in need this holiday season.


For more information or to donate please visit the websites for the Surrey Food Bank, Sources Food Bank and Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program.
