Refuel with Milk Cooler Grant Application
American Dairy Association Indiana is supporting Indiana school-based athletics by granting glass front reach in coolers to keep milk cold and readily available after student workouts, practices, matches and games. Milk is the official beverage of the IHSAA and Indiana student athletes and for good reason! Milk is nature’s recovery drink, with a mix of carbohydrates and high-quality protein to refuel and repair exhausted muscles, and naturally occurring electrolytes to rehydrate. #winnersdrinkmilk

School Nutrition Program Grant Opportunity
American Dairy Association Indiana sees the importance of meeting your students where they’re at when it comes to food and beverage trends, but also as it relates to meal service location and innovation. What better way to level up your daily participation than by making meals more nutrient dense AND more accessible and relevant to your students.
With the “build your own” trend along with growing popularity of yogurt, why not allow your students the option to create their own protein packed fruit and yogurt parfait? This mobile meal cart comes equipped with a Coldmaster® CoolCheck™ pan to give you peace of mind, as well as four additional stainless steel pans, three cut out dome covers for easy access and four wire baskets for additional meal components.

BONUS: When not serving parfaits, this can be converted into a typical meal cart that can be used for Second Chance Breakfast or if you just want to meet the students as they enter the building each morning looking for a way to Fuel Up for the day ahead!
