All of the funds raised were from sales of the police department’s Stolen Good’s cookbook.
It’s a collection of family favourite recipes from station employees.
The money raised will go towards purchasing almost 5,000 litres of milk at the food bank.
“It’s really amazing, I don’t think we thought it’d take off as much as it did,” Saskatoon police Chief Clive Weighill said.
“We give the food bank enough money to buy almost 47-hundred litres of milk, that’s just phenomenal.”
