Huron County OPP is getting ready to help the less fortunate in local communities during the holiday season.
The Auxiliary Unit & Huron OPP Youth Advisory Council say they recognize people are struggling to make ends meet at this time of the year, making the holiday season a stressful and difficult time.
Once again they are asking residents to help with their highly successful annual "Stuff a Cruiser" food and toy drives.
Those wishing to make a donation may bring a new, unwrapped toy or unopened food item to any of the OPP "Stuff a Cruiser" events.
The first event is today at Zehr's Goderich between 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
All toys and foods collected will go to local families in need. The donations will be distributed through the Huron County Food Bank and the Salvation Army.
Huron County OPP is a very proud and strong supporter of this event. We look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events.
Other upcoming events include one at the Red Apple in Wingham on Saturday, December 8 between from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
That will be followed by a collection at Hansen's Independent Exeter on Sunday, December 16, between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.
"Our Huron OPP Auxiliary Unit is very proud to help support our communities with our annual "Stuff a Cruiser" food and toy drives. Year after year, the kindness and generosity demonstrated at our "Stuff a Cruiser" events is absolutely astounding. We all know the need is great in our communities, however the desire to give and help out is much greater, together we can all make a positive difference," said Huron OPP Auxiliary Acting Staff Sergeant, Chris Patterson.
