The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an increased need for food assistance in communities across the country. #FoodForThought is dedicated to recognizing the myriad acts of kindness displayed by individuals and groups committed to serving communities \u2013 from preparing meals for families to surprising and delighting friends with milk and cookie drops and much more. Starting this week, with a donation of 1 million servings of milk from <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> dairy farm families, each #FoodForThought mission of kindness post shared and engaged with on Instagram that mentions @gotmilk through <span class=\"xn-chron\">September 30<\/span><sup>th<\/sup> will help contribute meals towards the accompanying 1 million meals goal.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This initiative naturally leans into who we are, what we do and what makes milk special \u2013 wholesome, nutritious, comforting &#8211; while giving people a reason to share positivity by joining a good cause that helps mitigate the uncertainty some families feel when it comes to their next meal,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Steve James<\/span>, Executive Director of the California Milk Processor Board and visionary leader of &#8216;got milk?&#8217;. &#8220;Our state has a population in need, with many who can give.\u00a0 So, whether you can give a lot, give a little, give kindness, give love &#8211; as neighbors, we know there&#8217;s strength in coming together. As got milk? and toma leche, we know strength starts with nourishment. Milk has a role to nourish families in <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> and encourage people to spread acts of kindness in their communities. #FoodForThought is just the start of the amazing things we can do together and provides the opportunity of spreading social good and positivity to <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> families in need.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To launch the campaign with the first #FoodForThought act of kindness at the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, &#8216;got milk?&#8217; enlisted the help of actor, producer, director and father of three, <span class=\"xn-person\">Matt Bomer<\/span>, and Brazilian-Mexican actor, television personality and father of two, <span class=\"xn-person\">Jaime Camil<\/span>.\u00a0 Matt and Jaime joined got milk?\/toma leche and <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> dairy farmers to shadow veteran volunteers for a behind-the-scenes look at the impactful and profound work happening at Feeding America member food banks. During the visit they honored volunteers with a meal and special care package and presented a <span class=\"xn-money\">$300,000<\/span> donation to Feeding America from <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> dairy farmers to fund\u00a0over 1 million servings of milk in <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> communities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> dairy farmers put their heart and soul into providing a wholesome product and ensuring it is accessible to all communities. It pains farmers to see so many children and families struggling with hunger and they are grateful to do something to help,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">John Talbot<\/span>, CEO of the CMAB. &#8220;Each small act of kindness \u2013 from volunteering time at a food bank to providing a meal or a smile to a neighbor \u2013 feeds positivity and hope in communities.
