Michigan State Police Wayland post will be at the Hastings Wal-Mart from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and at the Plainwell Wal-Mart from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to accept donations and answer any questions about the “Stuff A Blue Goose“ holiday charity drive.

“Stuff a Blue Goose” is a charitable food, clothing and toy drive event organized by the Michigan State Police to assist families in need during the upcoming holiday.

Troopers from the Michigan State Police Wayland Post are teaming with the two area Wal-Mart stores to collect food, clothing, and toys. The purpose of this event is to raise awareness of hunger and poverty, while helping those in need.

The Michigan State Police will park a patrol vehicle outside of each Wal-Mart store. Donated items will be stuffed into a patrol vehicle and distributed to various local non-profit organizations and food pantries.
