Michigan Milk Producers Association combats hunger in Michigan
The farmer-owned cooperative is donating 150 gallons of milk per day in 2018.
For the fourth year in a row, the Michigan Milk Producers Association (MMPA) has been donating fresh milk to Michigan’s food bank network. The Novi, Mich.-based farmer-owned cooperative said it is donating 150 gallons of milk a day for 2018. That amounts to 54,750 gallons of milk to Michigan-area food banks.
The donation is occurring primarily during the summer months, when the need is the greatest, MMPA said. The Food Bank Council of Michigan (FBCM) will ensure Michigan’s seven food banks serving all 83 counties in Michigan will receive the product.
