Kemps partners with Midwest food banks, donates nearly 800,000 milk cartons including 30,000 in Wisconsin
APPLETON, Wis. (WFRV) – Dairy brand Kemps is donating nearly 800,000 cartons of milk in 2025 to food banks across the Midwest, and on Wednesday, Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin received over 30,000. The 'Giving Cow' chocolate milk cartons were donated to the Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin center in Appleton. Green Bay Area Public School District begins Summer Meals Program, providing free food to students The idea for the massive donation came from the recent rise in food costs, and in eastern Wisconsin alone, about 459,000 people are experiencing food insecurity, according to Feeding America. In Wisconsin as a whole, that number is over 617,000, with about a third of them being children. The reason for the milk donation is that it's one of the most requested and least donated items at food pantries, as many lack proper refrigeration.
