Farm Show in June celebrates Dairy Month in Pennsylvania
Attendees donated to 'Fill a Glass with Hope,’ bringing fresh milk to neighbors in need.
Pennsylvanians gathered on June 5 at the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg to kick off Dairy Month with the annual "Farm Show in June" celebration. Guests enjoyed free milkshakes from the PA Dairymen Association, live music, dairy calves, selfies, Dairy Princess royalty, and guest appearances by former Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver Jason Avant and former "The Voice" contestant Olivia Farabaugh, according to the American Dairy Association North East, Philadelphia.
Teaming up with Feeding Pennsylvania food banks, corporate partners and the public, Pennsylvania dairy farmers called for all Pennsylvanians to join them to help end hunger statewide through the Fill a Glass with Hope initiative, the first statewide charitable fresh milk program in the United States offering fresh milk to families in need. Every $1 donation provides, on average, eight glasses of fresh milk distributed to clients through Feeding Pennsylvania and its statewide network of food banks, the association said.
