Repeating Scene on "Cup of Milk" Day
Children played contentedly in the playground outside their indergarten in the sun of early spring. When the "Cup of Milk" distribution team appeared, they clapped their hands, burst into grateful song, then lined up and waited for their packages, smiling with appreciation. Later when group pictures were taken, they spontaneously cheered and held their milk cartons high above their heads.

Dairy Industry Assist Too
That hefty box contains milk, white and yellow cheese, and other local dairy products such as pasteurized lebaneh. Beyond families, "Cup of Milk" also benefits the local dairy industry--providing sales and guaranteeing jobs at milk processing plants during a difficult economic time and assisting hundreds of small dairy farmers depending on the plants for their livelihoods.
