Michigan State Police host “Stuff a Blue Goose” event in Niles

NILES, Mich. – The Michigan State Police on Friday presented an opportunity for people in the community to give back and donate to local charities.

The “Stuff a Blue Goose” is an event aimed at providing charities and organizations in the Michiana area with donations that include toys, clothes and food.

Troopers try fill up their patrol cars with as many donations as they can fit.

"We are doing Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Berrien and Cass Counties,” a member of the State Police said, “so whatever you donate here is going to come back to the two counties that the Niles post actually serves, both Berrien and Cass, and it'll help all those kids and their families.”

This is the sixth year that the Michigan State Police have held this event in Niles.
