Maola Local Dairies donates 45,000 half-pints of milk to Virginia food banks
The products typically would have gone to schools, which are closed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Maola Local Dairies, a brand of the Reston, Va.-based Maryland & Virginia Milk Producers Cooperative, said it donated more than 45,000 half-pints of chocolate and 1% white milk last week to three Virginia food banks.
“In these uncertain times, we need to do all we can to help our community,” said Scott Garrett, national accounts manager with the Maryland & Virginia Milk Producers Cooperative. “We had product that would typically have gone to schools, and with the widespread closures due to coronavirus, these 17 pallets of milk didn’t have a home.”
