More than 1,900 gallons of milk distributed to local families in need

A number of community partners have teamed up to help one another during this pandemic, and recently more than 1,900 gallons of milk were distributed to local families in need.  The milk was donated by Guida’s Dairy of New Britain, a refrigerated truck donated by Gulf Shrimp in Plantsville distributed from The Stony Hill Preserve in Bethel to local food pantries.  UConn Fairfield Extension and 4-H volunteers say it was a win-win situation.  Because schools and restaurants are closed, there is a milk surplus and some farms have to dump their milk.  This comes at a time when food pantries are seeing an increasing number of food insecure families and cannot afford to buy milk for distribution.
