Global Bridges, a Texas

• Shipping more than
39,900 pounds of nonfat
dry milk to Honduran
hurricane victims.
(This DRI donation was
made possible with the
assistance of the David
Livingstone/K.U.R.E.
Foundation.)
“We’ve received contri
butions from many
sources,” says Tom
Townsend, a retired daily
industry executive who
serves as DRI vice presi
dent and chief executive
officer. “Those contribu
tions, along with matching
funds from Dairy Farmers
of America, have made it
possible for DRI to make
product purchases and
work with other humani
tarian organizations to
put dairy products where
they are needed most.”
To date, DFA has
matched more than
$lOO,OOO in contributions
and DRI has generated
more than $260,000 for
humanitarian relief.
In coming months,
DRI will focus on two
fronts. “We’ll be assem
bling additional shipments
of dairy products and, at
the same time, we will be
actively seeking new
donations,” Townsend
says. “We plan to reach
and exceed our initial
fund-raising goals in
order to purchase and
ship dairy products to
hungry and undernour
ished people around the
world. We hope this is
only the beginning.”

about DRI or to make a
tax-deductible contribu
tion, contact Dairy Relief
Inc., P.O. Box 1837,
Springfield, MO 65801-

DFA representative.
