Machias Police Chief Keith Mercier wasn’t sure if he should bring his covered trailer to last weekend’s “Stuff the Cruiser” diaper donation event at Hannaford in Machias.

“We would have been in trouble if I didn’t,” he said Monday morning while hauling boxes of diapers, wipes, baby food, and baby formula out of the full trailer and into the nonprofit We Care Baby Center located on Water Street in Machias.
