Charity checkstop brings warmth for those in need, funds for crime prevention
The Central Alberta Crime Prevention Centre held its fifth annual Coats for Kids Charity Checkstop on Saturday.
Members from the CACPC, Citizens on Patrol and other partners were out on Taylor Drive just north of the college collecting items that will help keep those in need from going cold this fall and winter.
Cash donations were also taken to help the CACPC with its ongoing work.
“We’re doing a lot of crime prevention presentations, we have our Wise Owl presentation for seniors which is about how to protect themselves from scams and fraud,” said Janise Somer, program coordinator.
