Families will be drinking more milk in Perth County thanks to a $1000 donation.
PERTH COUNTY - A donation will help young families purchase milk.
The Perth County Dairy Producers Committee has donated $1000 to the Perth District Health Unit.
The donation will be used by the Healthy Babies, Healthy Children program.
Krysta Tomasevic, Leader of the Healthy Babies, Healthy Children program says this donation affects a large amount of families.
"The donation affects the families we service through home visiting on our case load. So on average there's six nurses and we usually carry a case load of anywhere between 15 and 25 families. So at any given time it is over about 100 families a month."
The program will be using the money to help families purchase milk who otherwise couldn't.
Tomasevic says the donations have been coming in from the dairy producers for years.
"Coupons and milk donations have always been a way of getting families out and making sure kids get what they need nutritionally. For us at the health unit in Stratford, it's been around 15 years. I've been here for eight, so for sure it's been here the entire time I've been here."
