Preston County Schools recognizes the importance of proper nutrition for our students. As part of our work to continue meeting that goal, we wanted to share that late last week, our milk vendor, Galliker’s Dairy, informed us of a severe shortage of milk cartons due to an unexpected supply chain shortage. They anticipate being able to fill 60% of our typical volume.
We are exploring other vendor options. In the event milk is not available during meal service we plan to offer juice and bottled water.
Galliker’s Dairy could not say how long the shortage will impact their supply, but we will share any changes and updates as they occur. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to feed our students nutritious and delicious meals every day they are in school.
