The Illinois Milk Producers donated more than 2,400 half gallon jugs of milk today. 

The milk will be shared between the Central Illinois and Eastern Illinois Food Banks. The donation comes at a time when increasing prices for food continue to hit families struggling to afford food. Tasha Bunting, Executive Director of the Illinois Milk Producers says the donations were planned by their dairy producer members and includes many different choices of milk.

Prairie Farms, Illinois Corn Growers Association and Illinois Soybean Association all partnered on the donations.
