Importance of Dairy Products at Food Pantries

Dairy products are among the most sought-after but often least available food in food bank networks nationwide.

With this in mind, we at The Salem Pantry find it extremely important to make dairy regularly available at our sites as well as dairy alternatives.



Read the article below to learn more on why access to dairy through food pantries is so important.
