Recipes for Success - Milk Money

Milk Money is a program started by the Bellingham Food Bank. Here are the basics of the program:


Got milk? Not everyone does.

Bellingham Food Bank receives thousands of visits each month. 35% of our clients are children, and fresh milk is an essential ingredient for growing healthy bones and teeth. Each month we purchase milk from locally-owned dairies. They support Bellingham Food Bank by giving us a great price. But we still need help securing the amount of milk needed by food bank families.

A little effort by a lot of people will help provide milk to Bellingham’s hungry kids.

We are looking for at least one Milk Money sponsor each month that will raise $750 or more for milk purchases. This is a great opportunity for church congregations, businesses and other groups to pick a month and collect donations for our Milk Money program.

Milk Money fundraisers are incredibly rewarding and are a great way for your group to make a huge difference in the lives of Bellingham’s hungry families. Contact us today and learn how you can help.


More details:

  • BFB buys milk at $.70/ half gallon
  • $750/month is a sponsor level, although it costs more than that per month
  • Been doing it for about 3 years
  • Just buy 2% milk
