Farmers Supporting Families - One Gallon at a Time

School closures and rising unemployment have drastically increased consumers’ need for food assistance. American Dairy Association North East (ADANE), in partnership with local dairy farmers and milk processors, is working to ease the burden for families while providing essential nutrition by expediting milk deliveries.

Through the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (C.F.A.P.), government-funded grants have been made available to food banks, schools, not-for-profit groups and community organizations to help provide much needed food to those in need.

ADANE works with milk processors to facilitate the distribution of milk and dairy products through C.F.A.P and also serves as a resource for organizations interested in organizing a milk distribution for their clients and the community.
