Grand Union, ADA North East kick off ‘Fill a Glass with Hope’ campaign

Campaign helps provide fresh milk to families in need through a network of local food banks

In an effort to raise awareness during Hunger Action Month in September and stock local food pantries with fresh milk, American Dairy Association North East and Grand Union stores are teaming up to raise money through Fill a Glass with Hope^®. Thanks to a joint effort between American Dairy Association North East, dairy farmers, agriculture partners and business leaders, Fill a Glass with Hope^® helps provide fresh milk to families in need through a network of local food banks. Milk is one of the most requested items by families visiting food banks and is often one of the least donated.

Who: Grand Union stores in partnership with American Dairy Association North East

What: This September, shoppers at Grand Union stores can donate to Fill a Glass with Hope^® at checkout and help make milk available to children and families in their local community. Grand Union stores will host in-store events with local dairy farmers and local dairy ambassadors providing giveaways!
