The Facts
In the United States, 40 million Americans are impacted by food insecurity, meaning they do not have consistent access to enough food. Fresh milk is one of the top five most-requested food items by Feeding America’s food banks, yet milk is harder for people to donate because it is perishable. Dairy farmers’ support of the Great American Milk Drive has helped make it possible to put milk on the tables of families who need it most.
