The Illinois Milk Producers Association is kicking off June Dairy Month in an impactful way.
Illinois dairy farmers and IMPA are donating more than 2,000 half gallon containers of milk and nearly 400 half gallon containers of lactose-free milk to the Central and Eastern Illinois Foodbanks.
IMPA Executive Director Tasha Bunting tells Brownfield they have been looking for ways to help curb local food insecurity.
“What we are hoping to do is bring a little more awareness to milk consumption, the value, the contribution and just the overall health that dairy brings to our communities.
