Yoplait Donates Refrigerated Truck To Help Feed Those in Need
By Hanna Johnson
Did you know dairy is one of the most requested but least donated items at food banks?
Yoplait is on a mission to bridge that gap and make dairy more accessible through its support of Feeding America.
The organization serves communities around our Reed City, Michigan, plant.
“Yoplait’s Force for Good ambition is to help close America’s nutrition gap with the goodness of dairy,” says Pilar Moya, Brand Experience manager, Yoplait. “However, helping solve the problem goes beyond providing dairy donations. We also learned that food banks are often challenged with providing perishable foods, including dairy, due to limited refrigeration capabilities. We decided to partner with Feeding America to help solve this critical issue.”
