Jacksons Food Stores Gives Away Free Milk for a Year
MERIDIAN, Idaho — Jacksons Food Stores Inc. and Darigold came together once again to celebrate National Milk Day on Jan. 11 by giving customers the chance to win free milk for a year.
Customers participated by purchasing Darigold milk and entering their Jacksons Let's Go Rewards information at checkout. Eligible purchases included a gallon of milk at stores in Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Montana and Utah, or a 59-ounce carton at California locations.
Eight lucky winners — one from each participating state — will be selected to receive a gallon of milk each week for a year. As many families continue to face economic burden, providing a nutritious staple to families can make a meaningful difference in their lives, the company stated.
"At Jacksons, we're passionate about supporting our communities and providing access to healthy, fresh food," said Cory Jacksons, president of Jacksons Food Stores. "With grocery prices on the rise, our partnership with Darigold allows us to offer an uplifting and practical gift — a year of milk — for some of our lucky customers."
