DALLAS, AUGUST 25, 2026 — An unexpected inventory opportunity turned into a sweet way to make a positive impact. Rather than channeling the product through traditional distribution, Ben E. Keith Beverages donated 2,750 cases of chocolate milk to a local youth program and food bank. The donation helped provide a special treat for children and families while supporting organizations that make a difference every day.
"We are always looking for practical ways to support the communities we serve," said Philip Ward, Vice President of Sales and Branch Management. "When we identified an opportunity to share this product, we knew it could make a meaningful impact through organizations already doing incredible work for local families."
The donation provided thousands of servings of chocolate milk to children and families throughout the community, reflecting Ben E. Keith's commitment to making the most of available resources while supporting local organizations and the people they serve.
