SYRACUSE, N.Y.– American Dairy Association North East is partnering with Shoppers Food for a Mother’s Day Fill a Glass with Hope® campaign to provide fresh milk to Maryland and District of Columbia families in need.
The Fill a Glass with Hope campaign, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, kicked off at all Shoppers Food locations April 14, and runs through May 15. Customers can make $1, $3, or $5 donations at checkout. All donations will be used to purchase fresh milk for the Capital Area and Maryland food banks.
“Now, more than ever, we need to support local food banks, and our dairy farmers want to make sure families in need are getting all the nutritional benefits of fresh milk and dairy products,” said ADA North East CEO John Chrisman. “We’re grateful that Shoppers Food and their customers are helping us fill glasses in every household.
“We’re proud that over the past 10 years Fill a Glass with Hope has helped provide 47 million servings of milk to families throughout the region.”
Fill a Glass with Hope was initiated in 2015 by dairy farmers and dairy checkoff, PA Dairymen’s Association, and Feeding Pennsylvania. ADA North East expanded the program throughout its six-state region to help a network of pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and feeding programs.
