O.P.P. Fill-a-Cruiser event raises food and funds for Wilberforce foodbank

The food bank in Wilberforce has extra money and supplies thanks to the community.

The Haliburton Highlands O.P.P. had its annual –Fill-a-Cruiser campaign at the local Foodland grocery store.

In the three hours there, officers were able to collect enough food to fill 166 bags of food and $468.15 in cash.

The Wilberforce Food Bank can use the help because according to 2016 statistics from the Ministry of Education, over 37 per cent of students living in Wilberforce are in low-income households.

The provincial average is just over 19 per cent.
