Did you know that milk is one of the most requested products at food banks in America, yet it is the least common donated item? Well this month I am sharing with you The Great American Milk Drive where you can easily donate milk for needy families. It is a shame, to be honest, that so many of our American families go without food and even the smallest of necessities. This time of year, the holiday season, it seem most people are in the giving mindset and so I invite you to head on over to The Great American Milk Drive to see how easy it is to donate milk for needy families.

For just one $5 donation you can give milk to a family in need. This $5 donation will go to the local food bank to help support a family in desperate need for milk. It’s funny, isn’t it, that we think of the canned goods and other items that have a longer shelf life to donate for needy families but options like milk are overlooked? That is why I am sharing this information with you all, because I was that needy family many years ago where purchasing milk was a difficult chore and I felt like the world was going to fall down upon me.
With the help of assistant programs, kind people and family, I was able to provide for my first born as a single mom using programs that are out there for situations like mine was; a single mom in need of a leg up to ensure my child was well nourished! As a pay it forward and act of kindness measure, I will be donating money to this cause on my own because it is important for me to give back to a program that so many I know benefit from as a means to support their child during tough times.
I invite all of my readers to donate just $5 today, think about it? If we can just get 1000 people who read this to donate one $5 to The Great American Milk Drive, that’s $5,000 that we all worked together to create for this cause.

No family should go without the necessities in life.
OMG, this breaks my heart. No family should be without the basic necessities like milk.
Our food banks won’t take perishable items, but being able to donate instead is much more convenient.
I agree no one should go without the necessities! Some of the food banks around here allow perishables but only during the holidays. Great cause that should not be ignored.
How sad that so many families need such important things like milk. Thank goodness that programs like this are put in place to help out.
That is really true. I always donate non-perishable goods but milk is something they must really need as well. What a great way to be able to donate it.
This is crucial a crucial need right now for so many families. I love that programs like this exist to help families out.
We donate to our local food bank once a month. I did not realize Milk was such a needed item. I will have to start adding milk to our donations.
Is there a way to donate milk directly, rather than donating money? I’ll look into a local food bank in my area and see about visiting once a month or so and donating directly. Thanks for the info!
I’ve never really thought about milk not being donated as much as other items, but I am not surprised. I think the Great American Milk Drive is a great campaign, and one that seems to be certainly needed.
I wish more food banks would take milk. It’s a major need for just about all families.
What a great campaign. I’ll have t check the local food bank in my area if they would take milk.
It’s so sad to know that many families don’t have the basic necessities to get through the week. Every family should be able to afford, or get milk.
