A tradition of caring continued in Sioux Lookout on Dec. 2 with representatives from the Sioux Lookout OPP Detachment, First Step Women’s Shelter and Lac Seul Police Service conducting the 15th annual Stuff A Cruiser initiative with stops during the day at Giant Tiger and Fresh Market Foods.
Sergeant Jean Duguay of the Sioux Lookout OPP and Laura Duguay, Transitional Worker at First Step Women’s Shelter, are the coordinators of the event. The husband and wife duo said they are always amazed at people’s generosity.
“It’s great. I love being out here and meeting new people in the community and seeing their generosity,” Jean Duguay said.
“We need the Stuff A Cruiser in order for the Community Christmas Program to be successful every year. Again, we just really appreciate the community and everything that they contribute,” Laura Duguay said.
New, unwrapped toys, non-perishable foot items, and monetary donations are collected through the Stuff A Cruiser Initiative to help families in our community have a great Christmas through the First Step Women’s Shelter’s Community Christmas Program.
“We also come out and assist in delivering the gifts too. So, we see a lot of the homes and they see the police in a different light,” Jean Duguay shared.
Laura Duguay said people can who missed the event last Saturday can still drop off donations at the Sioux Lookout OPP Detachment or at First Step Women’s Shelter.
