The Drive to Feed Kids Initiative
As an agricultural cooperative, finding a way to help children in our local communities combat hunger is a natural fit. Landmark Services Cooperative is proud to partner with The Drive to Feed Kids initiative to help feed hungry kids in our service territory as part of our Landmark Gives Back program.
The Drive to Feed Kids is a collaboration between Nutra Blend and their partners in the feed industry to increase awareness about child hunger and raise money to feed children in the U.S. As part of our commitment to be engaged in the communities where we live and work, Landmark is working with area backpack programs and summer lunch programs to help feed kids.
