DPA’s buying power is with our members who sell their milk to Lanco-Pennland Quality Milk Producers in Hagerstown, Maryland. This milk was donated to Blessings of Hope of Ephrata, Pennsylvania. Blessings of Hope is a food distribution network to food banks, ministries, churches and individuals.

The following statements are from Joseph Zook, Product & Relationship Coordinator for Blessings of Hope. “I wish to thank those that made it possible for Blessings of Hope to receive 1,500 gallons of fresh milk! This donation is tremendously appreciated and will put a gallon of milk into a lot of homes. It will impact many lives and many people who cannot afford to buy milk. This will be a real treat to them. I ask God for a special blessing on every hand that touches this milk!” According to Mr. Zook, this dairy donation will be distributed to 15 different sites within the Blessings of Hope network.

Two additional purchases/donations with Dairy Maid Dairy Inc. & Blessings of Hope were done on June 28, 2012 for 1,000 gallons and another on July 12, 2012 for 1,000 gallons of whole milk. These three were a total of 3,500 gallons or 29,950 pounds.
