  • Feeding Tampa Bay and dairy farmers are teaming up to provide milk to families in need
  • In an effort to help, Feeding Tampa Bay has teamed up with Dale McClellan, a local Dairy Farmer who owns M&B products.
  • Thanks to the partnership, Feeding Tampa Bay will be able to provide 75,000 gallons of Milk to families in need across Central West Florida. 
  • The milk being used is meant for schoolchildren, but due to strict U.S. regulations for milk, it’s often wasted when school isn’t in session. 
  • According to Feeding Tampa Bay, one in four children is food insecure, meaning they lack access to enough affordable and nutritious food to lead healthy lives.
  • Feeding Tampa Bay and ABC Action News are partnering to help Pack the Pantries this school year. Click here to find out how you can help make sure no child goes without food this school year.
