The National Farm Worker Ministry sent its second letter to Hannaford Supermarkets to request they join the Milk with Dignity Program. The first letter was sent in November 2020, and we have received no response. Hannaford Foods needs to join the Milk with Dignity Program of Migrant Justice, a worker-driven socially responsible food certification program patterned after the Coalition of Immokalee Workers’ Fair Food Program.
