Fueling Dreams Milk for Vulnerable Kids in Uruguay

In 2025, thanks to your generous support, 92,045 glasses of milk were delivered to 49 community-based organizations across Uruguay. This means tens of thousands of children received a nutritious glass of milk — a simple act that makes a real difference in their lives.

These glasses aren’t just about nutrition. They’re part of school mornings, afternoon snacks, and warm meals at shelters and community centers. For many of the children we serve, this is often the most reliable source of nutrients they receive in a day.

One of our partner organizations shared:

“The support we receive from the Food Bank is essential to the work we do at our center. It allows us to provide our children with consistent, nutritious meals — and that means everything.”

Your donations help ensure that children throughout Uruguay have access to the nourishment they need to grow, learn, and thrive. With your continued support, we’re committed to reaching even more families in need.

We’re also preparing for upcoming matching campaigns on GlobalGiving — an amazing opportunity to amplify your impact. We’ll share more details soon!

From all of us at Banco de Alimentos Uruguay and the 49 organizations we work with: thank you for making this possible — one glass, one child, one smile at a time.

Dear Friends,

Thanks to your unwavering support, we continue making meaningful strides in our project, Fueling Dreams: Milk for Vulnerable Kids in Uruguay. Your generosity is directly impacting children across the country who depend on social organizations for their daily nourishment.

Our Impact in 2025

So far this year, we have distributed 46,250 glasses of milk to 13 social organizations throughout Uruguay. This consistent supply of milk ensures that hundreds of vulnerable children receive the essential nutrition they need to grow strong and healthy.

Milk is more than just a daily food item. It is a source of strength and resilience, rich in calcium, protein, and key vitamins like D and B12 — essential for developing strong bones, boosting immunity, and fostering concentration and energy in school-aged children.

In a country where many families face economic hardship, access to dairy products is not guaranteed. That’s why your contributions matter so much. Every donation transforms into concrete action: a glass of milk, a smile, a better chance at a healthier life.

Stories of Hope

At various community centers, caregivers tell us how regular access to milk has improved children's energy, attention in school, and even mood. These small but powerful changes are building a foundation for lasting wellbeing.

Looking Ahead

Our goal for the remainder of 2025 is to expand this support to even more organizations, especially in rural areas where food insecurity is growing. With your continued involvement, we can sustain and grow our impact — one glass at a time.

Thank you for standing with us. Together, we are fueling not just bodies, but dreams.

With deep appreciation,

Dolores Corro
