Prairie Farms makes big donation in honor of Dairy Month
Co-op donated 85 pallets of milk, which is over 346,000 milk servings.
Prairie Farms kicked off Dairy Month by partnering
with 30 Feeding America food banks to donate 85 pallets of milk, which is over 346,000 milk servings.
The
donation honors the cooperative’s dairy farm families for their essential role in providing milk and dairy
products to American families for 85 years.
“Over the past 85 years, Prairie Farms has established itself as one of America’s leading dairy cooperatives. In
honor of our dairy farmers, we kicked off Dairy Month by partnering with Feeding America to make
significant milk donations to 30 food banks in 14 states in America's heartland,” said Prairie Farms' CEO/Executive Vice President, Matt McClelland. “Without support from our dairy farmers, we
would not be celebrating 85 years of feeding American families, and throughout the month, we’ll be
reminding consumers that dairy farming is the original farm-to-table movement. Being a dairy farmer means
working 365 days a year, and we are very proud of our farmer-owners for their commitment to providing milk
and dairy products to millions of families each day.”
