Maola Donates Milk to Help End Food Insecurity

Maola Local Dairies® has made a significant contribution to the Capital Area Food Bank (CAFB) by donating a truckload of fresh milk, which will provide more than 61,000 eight-ounce servings of nutritious dairy to families in need. The donation, which amounts to 3,825 gallons of milk, will help make wholesome dairy products more accessible to those who are food insecure.

The Capital Area Food Bank, according to its 2026 Hunger Report, serves a significant portion of households in the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia region, where 38% of households experienced food insecurity in the past year, with one in three children experiencing food insecurity.

The donation of fresh milk will help to address the food insecurity crisis in the region. Each 8-ounce glass of milk contains 13 essential nutrients, including high-quality protein to help build and maintain lean muscle, B vitamins (riboflavin, B-12, niacin, and pantothenic acid) for energy, vitamin A, zinc, and selenium for a healthy immune system, bone-building nutrients, including calcium, vitamin D, and phosphorus, iodine to help regulate metabolism, and potassium to help maintain normal muscle function and regulate the balance of fluids in the body.
