The Jefferson-based Insight FS has made a substantial contribution toward the
Wisconsin Dairy Recovery Program. This week, the cooperative donated $10,000 to
Hunger Task Force to support the effort, which is a partnership that also
includes the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin and Department of Agriculture to supply
milk to food organizations throughout the state.
"We realize that food insecurity happens in our own backyard and this
program allowed us to better serve the communities throughout Wisconsin and
encourage others in the community to support similar efforts," said
Insight General Manager Dave Mottet. "The cooperative's donation not only
serves food insecure households, it also helps dairy farmers who are facing
unexpected challenges this year."
The initiative was launched in April after the DFW, DATCP and Hunger Task Force
collectively gave $1 million to help purchase dairy products in an effort to
help struggling dairy producers during the governor's Safer at Home order.
To support the ongoing recovery of Wisconsin's dairy industry, Hunger Task
Force encourages people to make an online donation at
