Milk is one of the most requested items by food bank clients year-round, but even more so during the holiday season when Feeding America food banks \u2013 including those in your community \u2013 are at their busiest. Yet, there&#8217;s a nationwide shortage of milk in food banks because it is rarely donated. That&#8217;s because Americans are generous with canned and dry goods, but milk is much harder to donate because it&#8217;s perishable.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.multivu.com\/players\/Spanish\/7396951-proyecto-alimento-leche-para-america\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.multivu.com\/players\/Spanish\/7396951-proyecto-alimento-leche-para-america\/<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>As you give thanks for what you have this year, you can take action against the issue of hunger by donating to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lecheparaamerica.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Proyecto Alimento: Leche Para America <\/b><\/a><b>,<\/b> the first-ever nationwide program to help deliver highly desired and nutrient-rich gallons of milk to hungry families who need it most.<\/p>\n<p><span><b>WHAT IS THE GREAT AMERICAN MILK DRIVE?\u00a0 <\/b><\/span><span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lecheparaamerica.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Proyecto Alimento: Leche Para America <\/b><\/a>is an effort created by American dairy farmers and milk companies in partnership with Feeding America that makes it easy to donate gallons of milk to hungry families in local communities with a simple click of a mouse or text message. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><b>WHY SHOULD I GIVE MILK VS.
