COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Michigan State Police Marshall Post’s Coldwater Detachment will host its 18th annual “Stuff a Blue Goose” Christmas food and toy drive on Saturday, December 5th, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m..
Troopers will park outside the Coldwater Walmart to collect new toys and non-perishable food items directly inside their patrol cars.
In partnership with The Salvation Army, all collected donations will be distributed locally to support families in need across Branch County throughout the holiday season.
The “Stuff a Blue Goose” initiative—named after the iconic blue color and sleek design of traditional Michigan State Police patrol vehicles,originally began in 2009 with a single trooper at the White Pigeon Post.
It has since grown into a massive, statewide holiday tradition with dozens of posts clearing out their trunks each winter to combat food insecurity and bring holiday joy to local children.
Organizers encourage community members to stop by during the event hours to drop off donations and help support their neighbors.
