The grocery retailer and distributor SpartanNash and its customers have raised more than $350,000 during its first milk drive across 145 locations throughout the Midwest.
United Dairy Industry of Michigan also donated $20,000 to the effort during the last two weeks of August. Cortney Freeland with the checkoff tells Brownfield dollars raised across the nine states participating will be used for milk purchases.
“Every store that participated, the funds that they raised were allocated to the local pantry and/or food bank in their distribution area,” she says.
