Huron County OPP's Auxiliary Unit members joined staff from the Huron Women's Shelter to stuff a cruiser.
Donations of toiletries, clothing, housewares, food, linens, and $727 in cash were collected Saturday afternoon.
OPP say the support of the event at Goderich Walmart was overwhelming. In fact, they had to call in a "back-up vehicle" after the first two police vehicles were stuffed full.
The donations will be used by women and children in need at Huron Women's Shelter.
"This event always leaves me in awe of our community. There were so many kind and generous people that stopped by throughout the day. Your donations are making a difference, thank-you so much!" says OPP Auxiliary Acting Sergeant Patty Vandermeer
"We are truly grateful to the Huron OPP Auxiliary for donating their time and energy to the "Stuff a Cruiser" event this past weekend. We live in a very generous community and I cannot thank those enough who were shopping on Saturday for their contributions to women and children who are engaged with our organization. These items are put to immediate use by women who are residing in shelter or in any of our second stage housing units in Goderich, Clinton and Exeter. Thank you, thank you!" says Donna Jean Forster-Gill, executive director of Huron Women's Shelter
