Why Milk Vending?
Schools with milk vending know the importance of students having access to a healthy, nutrient-packed beverage at all times during the day, not just in the cafeteria during lunch and breakfast. By offering milk in kid friendly, attractive packaging and exciting flavors, students are drinking more milk, more often. At the same time, self-owned and -operated milk vendors can generate additional revenue for schools in a socially responsible manner.
The StoryThis study shows that school milk vending is a significant and exciting opportunity for schools
