Milk is one of the most requested yet least donated items to Virginia’s food banks. On average, the families coming to our food pantries receive less than 1 gallon of milk per year. With your help, we can bring fresh, local milk to families across the Commonwealth. Because of you, we have supported the distribution of more than 240,000 half gallons of milk.
On average, a $12 donation will provide 5 half-gallons (40 servings) of milk.
