Harbor Springs, MI – Residents across Emmet County and the Little Traverse Bay region have a chance to give back today as the Michigan State Police Gaylord Post hosts its annual “Stuff a Blue Goose” event from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday.
According to organizers, the donation drive will take place at the Little Traverse Bay Humane Society, located at 1300 W Conway Rd #9582 in Harbor Springs, where MSP troopers will be collecting essential items to support local animals this holiday season.
The event invites community members from Harbor Springs, Conway, Petoskey, and surrounding Northern Michigan towns to drop off items including dog and cat food, cat litter, toys, cleaning supplies, and other pet-care necessities. The annual effort helps stock the humane society’s shelves ahead of the busiest intake months of the winter season.
Michigan State Police say the drive is designed to strengthen community partnerships while supporting shelters that rely heavily on donations during the colder months. Troopers will be on-site throughout the four-hour event to meet residents and collect items directly from vehicles for convenience.
The Little Traverse Bay Humane Society serves Emmet and Charlevoix counties and frequently reports increased demand for food and basic pet-care supplies during the winter. Today’s event offers a direct way for residents to help local animals and support the shelter’s mission going into December.
Attendees are encouraged to arrive any time before 6 p.m. and bring any unopened pet supplies they wish to donate.
