We are excited to announce our first 2021 #HomeFridgeAdvantage Winner – Congratulations to Lucia from Detroit! Lucia is a mother of two and dedicated college student working to complete her associate degree before furthering her education at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.

Lucia’s current residence didn’t come with a refrigerator, forcing her to purchase a mini fridge which barely gives her enough room to store milk for her newborn. She is more than deserving of a new refrigerator-freezer stocked with #UndeniablyDairy and groceries! Courtesy of Michigan's dairy farmers, @krogerco and @detroitlionsnfl.

Lucia completed her “Forward Pass,” granting the Detroit Edison Public School Academy $2000 to purchase equipment that will allow them to provide more nutrient-rich milk to students. “I wanted my Forward Pass to go to a school in the Detroit community,” she said, “where I felt the kids would benefit from the new equipment in their cafeteria.”
