GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas — United Dairy Women (UDW), a passionate group of dairy advocates, is on a relentless “milk mission” to bring the goodness of dairy to the tables of children in New Mexico children’s homes. In a nationwide landscape affected by food insecurity, UDW has been a beacon of hope, ensuring that children have access to the essential nutrients found in dairy.
Since its inception 17 years ago, UDW has raised more than $1.4 million. These funds have been dedicated entirely to purchasing dairy foods and beverages for three children’s homes in the Clovis-Portales area: New Mexico Christian Children’s Home, New Mexico Baptist Children’s Home and Hope Children’s Home. The organization’s unwavering commitment to making dairy products available to these homes has significantly impacted the lives of more than 1,000 children, providing them with essential nutrition crucial for their growth and well-being.
“In our area where milk is so abundant, we recognize our responsibility to ensure that these homes, which contribute so much to our communities, have the dairy they need,” said Tara Vander Dussen, vice president of United Dairy Women. “We believe that dairy plays such a crucial role in children’s diets and are dedicated to ensuring they understand the profound impact of fueling their bodies with healthy foods, especially dairy, enabling them to thrive in school and in life.”
