Church Donates 2100 Gallons of Milk to Marion Polk Food Share
On March 6, 2025, a donation of 2100 gallons of surplus milk, sent by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, was delivered to Marion Polk Food Share in Salem, Oregon.
Surplus food becomes available after Church farms and food processing facilities supply Bishop’s Storehouses, international needs, and disaster relief. When these obligations have been met, any extra (surplus) product remaining can be distributed to other areas of need.
In addition to the donation to Marion Polk Food Share, this milk truck delivered surplus from the Church Dairy to food banks in Eugene (2200 gallons) and Sweet Home (100 gallons).
Marion Polk Food Share is a member of the Oregon Food Bank Network, and since it distributes food to 71 local food banks and food pantries, these gallon jugs of milk from Salt Lake City will be appreciated by many households around the community.
This milk delivery is only the latest in a series of occasional large donations from Church food production facilities to local food banks. Every few months, depending on needs around the world, trucks bring dry goods, dairy products, meat, and other surplus food to Oregon.
The Church is committed to helping people in need everywhere, and the distribution of surplus food is one of many systems in place for feeding the hungry among Heavenly Father’s children near and far.
