Thursday Google + HOA – Great American Milk Drive

#gno featured

Did you know that September is Hunger Action Month? Parents know that it is important to get their kids involved in programs that help them to think about others—it teaches them a sense of gratitude and accomplishment while benefitting the community. Feeding America’s Hunger Action Month is a nationwide effort to build awareness and help end hunger in America, which makes it a perfect opportunity for your family to get involved in this important fight in your community.

Milk

Milk is one of the items most requested by food bank clients, yet there is a nationwide shortage because it is rarely donated. This means that many families are without access to milk and its essential nutrients, including 8 grams of high-quality protein per serving.

That’s why America’s dairy farmers and milk companies have teamed up with Feeding America to make it easy to give back to our communities by launching The Great American Milk Drive—the nation’s first program to deliver milk to hungry families who need milk’s nutrition the most. The initiative makes it easy to donate gallons of milk to those in your community via a simple click of a mouse or text message, but there’s much more work to be done to help deliver milk to the more than 46.5 million Americans served by Feeding America annually.

The Great American Milk Drive makes giving back easy. Simply send a quicktext message (text “Milk” to 27722) or donate online with the click of your mouse to get fresh, nutritious milk to families. By entering your zip code, you can ensure that the milk is delivered to a local Feeding America food bank in your community.
