Proactive Support in Times of Adversity
One of our defining features is our proactive approach to supporting schools in the face of unforeseen challenges. During the recent milk carton shortage, we recognized the potential impact a milk carton shortage would have on school meal programs. Our Youth Programs team created a tailored toolkit helping school districts to find ways to continue uninterrupted milk service for all students.
