School meals play a significant role in the total nutrition your child receives each day.

At @uticacommunityschools, district-wide breakfast service has more than doubled since 2019. Brankica “Barb” Evovska is the sole food service employee at Duncan Elementary and has been an amazing one-woman show in taking on this enormous increase in daily meals.

Despite a staff shortage, dedication and attention to detail has not waivered, even with the time-consuming effort it takes to pack breakfast bags, deliver breakfast in the classroom and prepare for lunches. #MiFoodHeroes like Barb know how difficult it is for students to learn on an empty stomach and are always there to step up and help whenever and wherever possible. ❤️

We are excited to announce our third 2021 #HomeFridgeAdvantage Winner - Congratulations to Andrew from Howell! Andrew works long hours delivering packages, during the pandemic, sacrificing his own health to deliver orders to those that were in lockdown.

With a little one recently joining their family, a larger appliance that could keep their #UndeniablyDairy and groceries at a safe temperature was more than deserved! Courtesy of Michigan’s dairy farmers, the @detroitlionsnfl and @krogerco.

Andrew completed his “Forward Pass,” granting Howell High School $2000 to purchase equipment that will allow them to provide more nutrient-rich milk to students.

Do you know someone deserving of an advantage? Nominate them today by following the 🔗 in our bio.

The #NationalSchoolLunchWeek celebration continues with more #MiFoodHeroes!

Mandy Sosnowski, Director of Food and Nutrition Services at Utica Community Schools, says her team has been wonderful in taking on new challenges of school meal prep throughout the pandemic.

Schwarzkoff and Duncan Elementary Schools are currently serving 300-400 breakfasts daily. In 2019, Duncan only served about 5. Brankica “Barb” Evovska is the sole food service employee at Duncan Elementary and has been an amazing one-woman show in taking on this enormous increase in daily meals. Sosnowski is truly grateful for dedicated workers like Evovska during this time when it’s harder to find employees.

Despite a staff shortage, dedication and attention to detail has not waivered, even with the time-consuming effort it takes to pack breakfast bags, deliver breakfast in the classroom and prepare for lunches.

Caretakers. Innovators. Environmentalists.

These are just a few words that describe Michigan dairy farmers.

When you purchase a gallon of milk at the supermarket, you are supporting local businesses comprised of fellow community members dedicated to ensuring your family has access to safe, nutrient-rich dairy foods at home and in school. 🥛

You are also supporting innovative upcyclers of leftover food and recyclers of water. ♻️ Today, the carbon footprint of one gallon of milk is 19% less than it was a decade ago. As an environmental solution, U.S. Dairy will achieve carbon neutrality or better while improving water use and quality by 2050.

On #NationalFarmersDay, we raise our glass to those dedicated to producing the delicious and nutritious dairy foods we all know and love – all while caring for the planet. 🌎

Dairy farmers recycle water to cool milk, grow feed and keep cows hydrated. Some farmers reuse a gallon of water up to four times! 💧
