Troopers from the Michigan State Police Calumet Post and five grocery stores in Baraga and Houghton counties will be working together to host “STUFF A BLUE GOOSE” Harvest Gathering charity events. The purpose is to raise hunger awareness and to provide food to local food pantries.
Troopers will be at Pat’s Foods in L’Anse & Calumet, to assist in the collection of donated food items and to answer questions regarding the food drive. A “BLUE GOOSE” patrol car will be at the sites to haul donated items to local food pantries at the conclusion of the events. The events will be as follows:
Saturday, October 5, 2024, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Pat’s Foods in L’Anse
Saturday, October 5, 2024, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Pat’s Foods in Calumet
All grocery stores will have pre-made bags available for purchase, which will be stuffed in the “BLUE GOOSE”. Each bag will be pre-filled with non-perishable food items. You may also donate your own non-perishable food items.
There is a significant need for food items in our local pantries and the participation and involvement from the public is greatly appreciated. Come help “STUFF A BLUE GOOSE”.
