The Ludington Police Department is giving back to the community by raising thousands of dollars for people that need help during the holidays. In fact, Sgt. Mike Haveman said the Ludington Police Department said LPD was able to raise almost $28,000 after auctioning off two halves of a pig and a bunch of beef that was donated by West Shore Bank.
