On Saturday December 7 the West End Food Bank shelves were filled thanks to Stuff A Cruiser 2024. Organizers would like to thank their volunteers, as well as OPP Constable Spencer Brown and Canada Border Service Agency officers for taking time out of their busy day to help make this campaign a success.

Organizers are grateful to members of The Teamster Canada Rail Conference Division 749, Rainy River New Gold mine and West Fraser Barwick for their monetary donations. North Western Health Unit, Riverview School, and Rainy River Canada Customs for collected and donated groceries. Beaver Mills Market has been a welcoming host for many years and organizers thoroughly enjoy the cookies and refreshments. Huge thanks to all of the customers who helped fill the Cruisers as well as those that donated money.
