Sarah Taydas with Darigold told the Washington Ag Network they are always happy to help.

“It definitely emphasis the essential nutrition that people and children, in particular, can gain from drinking milk.  So, we’re really pleased to be part of that.”

Taydas added donations lie this really shows who local dairy farmers are.

“Of the heart of the farmer, and what the farming community stands for in their hard work and their willingness to participate in the community.”
