Charity Checkstop this weekend in Red Deer

Sep 29, 2020 | 9:41 AM

Central Albertans can make donations to keep children warm and neighbourhoods safe from the comfort of their own car this coming weekend!

The Charity Checkstop runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday (Oct. 3) on Taylor Drive, just north of 32 Street.

The event is held in support of the Coats 4 Kids campaign and the Central Alberta Crime Prevention Centre.

Drivers are encouraged to pull into the dedicated charity checkstop lanes on Taylor Drive to donate gently used winter clothing and items for kids or adults, and/or cash for crime prevention.

Last year’s Charity Checkstop saw nearly 500 winter items collected for families in need. Central Albertans are very generous, and we anticipate this year’s numbers will hopefully match or be better than 2019. The mission of the Central Alberta Crime Prevention Centre is to engage, educate and empower citizens to increase community safety. Monies donated are vital to the overall operation of the CACPC and we are grateful for all donations.
