BNP Media And Its DAIRY FOODS Brand Join FPSA Dairy Council In Contributing To 2017 Defeat Hunger Campaign

TROY, Mich., April 20, 2017 — Troy, Mich.-based BNP Media and its DAIRY FOODS brand has joined with the Food Processing Suppliers Association’s (FPSA) Dairy Council in the fight against hunger by donating to the 2017 Defeat Hunger Campaign.

BNP Media’s donation of $2,500 will help provide approximately 7,500 meals, as the FPSA, sponsor of the Defeat Hunger campaign, works towards its overall 2017 campaign goals.

“We are pleased that Dairy Foods, as a member of BNP Media’s Food Beverage Packaging Group, and the people of BNP Media can support the Food Processing Suppliers Association and its Dairy Council with this heartfelt program that helps alleviate hunger in the Chicago area,” said John Schrei, Publishing Director at BNP Media.

The Defeat Hunger campaign was launched on April 3 this year and will run through September 21, the last day of the FPSA-sponsored Process Expo at Chicago's McCormick Place. This campaign will include cash donations, as well as a food drive. Since beginning in 2013, Defeat Hunger, in conjunction with its partner, the Greater Chicago Food Depository, has provided more than one-half million meals to the people of Cook County.
