The BARN – Briggsdale, CO – June 15, 2021 – June marks the start of National Dairy Month, an annual month-long celebration in honor of dairy farmers and their commitment that spans over centuries to the communities where they live and work. This month, Dairy MAX will partner with regional blood centers for the ninth annual Passion for Pints Blood Drive, providing dairy products for post-blood donation recovery at select locations. Dairy MAX will connect community members with local dairy farmers and share how milk is sustainably produced on the farm. As a bonus, blood donors will receive giveaway items including a commemorative t-shirt, stress-relief cow squeeze toy and a recipe book highlighting dairy as a key ingredient.
