Clinton Township, MI January 20, 2021 – Michigan’s dairy farmers recently awarded CCSEM’s Senior Outreach Program with two grants!  The first grant, the United Dairy Industry of Michigan’s (UDIM) Food Pantry Grant, helps increase the availability of nutrient-rich foods in their community.  The second grant, the Food Pantry Infrastructure Grant helps pantries purchase critical refrigeration equipment to support the distribution of nutritious dairy foods in the community. According to the 2015 Dietary Guidelines, Americans of all activity levels over the age of eight should include three servings of low-fat or fat-free milk or milk products in their diet every day.
