The Great American Milk Drive is a collaborative effort between MilkPEP, Feeding America and the checkoff-funded National Dairy Council. The goal is to drive consumer donations of milk for those who need it most – hungry Americans. Hunger is an issue that impacts one in six of us. And, 95 percent of food banks say they don’t receive enough milk to meet their clients’ needs.

Feeding America food banks only have enough milk to provide, on average, one gallon per person annually. The Great American Milk Drive encourages consumers to donate as little as $5 online or by texting “milk” to 27722 to purchase milk for hungry families. PD
