Hy-Vee Inc. has committed to donating a year's work of milk to Sioux Falls nonprofit meal ministry The Banquet.
The West Des Moines, Iowa-based grocery chain will start the year's supply of milk starting next month. “This is a Christmas blessing,” said Tamera Jerke-Liesinger, The Banquet’s executive director, in a news release. “Milk is a huge expense for The Banquet, and this gift will save us thousands of dollars next year.”
The Banquet says it will now use its milk fund to pay for other operational necessities such as utility bills, serving supplies, office needs and to keep open Banquet West, its satellite location at the W.H. Lyons Fairgrounds.
