As a cooperative, Concern for Community is a guiding business principle and a deeply felt commitment at Dairyland. For more than 20 years, Dairyland has been a leader in the United Way campaign, which offers everyone an opportunity to help others with the confidence that dollars contributed are well spent right here in our community. Last year, Dairyland and our employees pledged over $80,000, which has greatly impacted the communities where we work, live and serve our members.
