Adopt a Dairy Cow
... and Give the Gift of Milk!
It's easy— symbolically adopt a dairy cow and choose how many half-gallons of milk you'd like to donate. For every $25 you give, we can provide up to 30 half-gallons of milk!
Your gift helps Second Harvest Foodbank provide this nutrient-rich staple to neighbors facing nutrition insecurity across southwestern Wisconsin.
After you donate, you'll receive an official cow adoption certificate & a coupon for a free scoop of ice cream at Sassy Cow Creamery Store in Columbus, WI— redeemable during Day at the Creamery on June 28th!
Your impact, DOUBLED! Thanks to the Werndli Charitable Fund, Alliant Energy Foundation, Clack Corporation, Compeer Financial, and our other generous sponsors, the first $100,000 raised will be matched.
