Dairyland is proud to announce a $1,000 donation to the WAFER Food Pantry in La Crosse, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to supporting the communities we serve. This donation was presented by Dairyland's Contributions Committee, who had the opportunity to tour the facility this week and witness firsthand the impactful work WAFER is doing to combat food insecurity in our region.

The tour provided Contributions Committee members with valuable insights into the operations of WAFER Food Pantry, highlighting the critical role they play in providing nutritious food to families in need. By supporting WAFER, Dairyland is helping to ensure that more individuals in our community have access to essential resources, especially during challenging times.

"At Dairyland, our donation process is guided by our cooperative principles and a strong commitment to community," said Ellie Rundahl, who serves as the committee chair. "Each donation request is reviewed by our Contributions Committee to ensure alignment with our guidelines and bylaws. This includes verifying that the organization is a registered non-profit and assessing the potential impact of our contribution."
