SUMMARY:National Milk Day
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to partner with the United Dairy Industry of Michigan for National Milk Day! A celebration to help fund one of the most requested\, and least donated items at food banks: fresh nutritious milk. Milk provides 13 essential nutrients that support growth\, development\, immune health\, muscle recovery\, and the overall wellbeing for children and adults. \nFor families facing hunger\, milk means stability. It’s a refrigerator staple that helps stretch meals\, power school days\, and nourish growing kids.\nMilk means comfort. When you give milk\, you give comfort\, nourishment\, and hope to neighbors who may be choosing between paying bills and putting food on the table. \nJoin us as we tackle hunger\, today and every day! All dollars donated will be matched up to $5\,000!! \nWe appreciate you!
