MILES FOR MILK

Support Dairy Farmer
Tyler Beck’s NYC
Marathon Mission

DONATE NOW

This November, local dairy farmer Tyler Beck is taking on 26.2 miles of the New York City Marathon with one powerful goal: raising money to help provide fresh milk to families in need through local food pantries across New York. His goal: $1,000 for every mile run!

Milk is one of the most requested items, yet one of the least donated.

 

Feeding New York State is partnering with American Dairy Association North East to support Tyler on his mission to raise $1,000 for every mile of the marathon, helping ensure children and families have access to nutritious dairy foods during challenging times.

Every dollar donated helps Feeding New York State and food banks deliver fresh, wholesome milk to neighbors in need.
