‘Tis the season for sharing — MOOMilk and Wayside Food Programs have teamed up to provide fresh, organic Maine milk to those who otherwise could not afford it:

MOOMilk and Wayside Food Programs partner to provide organic milk

All of us who work hard every day to bring you Maine’s Own Organic Milk (our farmers, our business partners, and our cows) want to thank you for your support and encouragement during the first year of our company. You have purchased our milk, offered your comments and criticism, and helped spread the word that Maine now has its own brand of pastuerized organic milk; milk that is produced, transported, processed and distributed by Maine family businesses. We are grateful and we thank you.

The holiday season seems an appropriate time to introduced you to our newest partner, Wayside Food Programs. Wayside is a local, Portland-based organization that runs food kitchens and supplies food to shelters, food pantries and other social service agencies in the Southern Maine area. Now you can help our MOOMilk farmers sell more milk and at the same time help Wayside bring pure Maine organic milk to Maine people who otherwise could not afford it. You can learn more about Wayside by clicking HERE.

Wayside receives much of its food through donations from restaurants, retailers and food producers, but on occasion it still needs to purchase food to meet the needs of its clients. The biggest food expense it has is fresh milk. You can help Wayside cut down on that expense by purchasing MOOMilk, which we will deliver on your behalf to Wayside.

The program works like this.

You purchase whatever amount of milk you wish directly from MOOMilk, at less than retail prices. MOOmilk will send you a receipt for the milk you purchased, and will then turn the milk directly over to Wayside on your behalf. Wayside will then send you a receipt for the donation of the milk, which you may use to claim a deduction on your federal income tax if you wish. (Wayside is a 501(c)3 organization, so donations of food or money to it are tax deductible).

The milk you buy will be freshly produced milk, always with more than a full week of freshness date on it, and is kept properly stored in the Oakhurst Dairy distribution center in Portland until Wayside picks it up. Wayside will pick up this donated milk twice a week and distribute it immediately throughout southern Maine.

You can purchase as much milk as you wish under this program, using either the online buttons or by check using the order form you can download HERE. Or you may place an order over the phone by calling David Bright, MOOMilk’s Secretary and Deputy Treasurer, at 207-234-4226.

Your donation to this program will not only help Wayside Kitchen feed the hungry, it will help our MOOMilk farms by increasing the market for their milk.

 

Thank you for your support of Wayside Kitchen and of the Maine farm families who make up Maine’s Own Organic Milk Company.
