“Stuff a Blue Goose” – L’Anse

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.
 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:
 • Wednesday, September 25, 2024, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Taydch's Marketplace in Houghton
 • Thursday, September 26, 2024, from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. at Louie’s Super Foods in Lake Linden
 • Wednesday, October 2, 2024, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Larry's Market in Baraga
 • 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.
