The Dairy Alliance along with the Washington County Extension Service and 4-H, the Washington County Farm Bureau, Washington County Ag Partnership, and Tennessee 4-H Foundation have partnered with Borden Dairy to distribute free milk to anyone who wants it.
A spokesman for the dairy and alliance said many families are struggling due to COVID-19 and hopefully this milk give-away will do a small part in nourishing families across the state.
The goal is to provide families with the calcium, protein, vitamin D, and other valuable nutrients that milk offers. The distribution of the milk will be in a contactless drive-through fashion where volunteers will put milk into the trunks of vehicles passing through.
The milk will be given out Friday, July 17, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at Old Earthfare Parking Lot, 1735 West State of Franklin Road, Johnson City.
