- Overview:
- 1500 gallons of milk will be given away to the public at no charge. Guests will pull up by car and boxes will be loaded in by staff and volunteers.
- As more people file for unemployment, the need for food assistance is drastically increasing. New York dairy organizations are stepping up to deliver some much-needed relief with a tractor trailer carrying boxes of dairy items. To ensure the safety and health of all involved in the distribution, there will be a drive-through distribution process. Residents are asked to stay in their car until they are prompted to receive their box.
