(Wisconsin Ag Connection) -The Madison-based Vita Plus announced the launch of the Serving Customers & Rural Communities Project, which will contribute $100,000 to support food security initiatives in rural communities.The project is a broad-based effort focused on communities where Vita Plus employee owners and customers live and work. The purposes of the project are to support dairy, swine, and beef producers by purchasing their products and, at the same time, assist those in rural communities during a time of great need. "This is a challenging time for many people," said CEO Bob Tramburg. "Our focus is and always has been on serving customers. One way for us to do that is to help put the nutritious foods our customers produce into the hands of those who need them."
Local Vita Plus nutrition consultants and facilities are working with rural food pantries, schools, and other food assistance programs by contributing dairy, beef, and pork products to help fill their needs.
