Borden Cheese donates 48,000 Crisps ‘n Cubes snacks to Tennessee food bank
The donation will be distributed to hungry adults and children in 46 counties across Tennessee, as well as to front-line health care workers in Nashville.
Borden Cheese, a licensed brand of Kansas City, Kan.-based Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), donated 48,000 units of its Borden Cheese Crisps ‘n Cubes snack trays to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee, which is part of the national Feeding America network. The donation, which was delivered to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee in Nashville, Tenn., will be distributed to hungry adults and children in 46 counties across the state, DFA said. Additionally, a portion of the donated product will go to essential health care workers on the front lines at Nashville General Hospital.
“COVID-19 has brought unpredictability to all of us. We were in the initial stage of bringing this innovative, all-natural cheese snack to market,” said Flavia Panza, vice president, commercial strategy and brand growth, DFA Dairy Brands. “But as grocery stores have needed to make quick adjustments to keep up with increased consumer demand, we found ourselves in a situation where we had inventory surplus in the area and knew we could put these products to good use and help people who needed them right now.
