Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, milk drives have been a way that the American Dairy Association North East and Harrisburg Dairies have helped families who are facing food insecurity. In this situation, every little bit counts, and so the Central PA Drive-Thru Milk Events are an important resource for our neighbors in need. There is another round scheduled from Tuesday, September 15 through Friday, September 18, 2020, thanks to government-funded grants provided through the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program to food banks and community organizations.
Powered by volunteers, the upcoming Milk Drives throughout the Greater Harrisburg Region will help provide children and families with fresh milk. The American Dairy Association North East and Harrisburg Dairies are partnering with the following programs to distribute 4,234 gallons (!) of milk:
