We are also pleased to announce a service event for our IDFA board members on the morning of Monday, Oct. 2nd, from 8:00-11:00 a.m. ET at the Ritz-Carlton. The IDFA Foundation has partnered with Rise Against Hunger, a national nonprofit, to pack and ship at least 20,000 meals to schools, medical clinics, vocational training programs, and elder care facilities in developing countries around the world. Together, we will create healthy, nutritious meals for malnourished people by combining rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables, and a nutrient packet to address common micronutrient deficiencies that can affect childhood development and overall health and wellness. We hope all IDFA board members who are available will participate in this important service event showing the generous spirit of U.S. dairy and our industry leaders. Please RSVP for the service event as soon as possible.
