All of the toys gathered will be turned over to the Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 583 for distribution to families in need in Alcona, Alpena, Montmorency and Presque Isle counties. Food items will be donated to the Salvation Army in Alpena.

Donations can also be made prior to the event on December 10th in Alpena at the Michigan State Police Alpena post, located at 3283 W Washington Avenue. Please come on Saturday, December 10th  to stuff the blue goose and help local troopers make a difference.
