DFA donates commercial refrigeration to food pantries
Cooperative continues to help fight hunger during Hunger Action Month.
Dairy Farmers of America, along with its employees and family farm-owners, is continuing its commitment to help fight hunger by supporting Feeding America’s Hunger Action Month this September. Through its DFA Cares Foundation Farmers Feeding Families Fund, DFA is donating commercial refrigeration to community food pantries across its seven regional Areas and stocking those fridges with milk through the end of the year.
Food insecurity continues to be a significant problem in the United States. According to Feeding America, more than 38 million people, including 12 million children, are facing hunger and food insecurity, with added pressure caused by inflation. And, while every community in the country has families that face hunger, rural communities are especially hard hit.
