ELLSWORTH – Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery announced the launch of “Ellsworth Cares” on Tuesday, Dec. 13 – a program aimed at partnering with local community organizations and supporting efforts that help those in need. Service is at the core of the Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery mission and this new program will help connect the Creamery’s giving efforts to important charitable initiatives in the region.

Ellsworth Cares is launching by partnering with the United Way to collect diapers and personal care products. For every donation received, Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery will then donate three pounds of cheese to community food shelves, which will be distributed across the state in partnership with the United Way and local food pantries.

Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery is asking the community to join in its efforts to help those in need. Personal items and diapers can be donated at the Ellsworth, Menomonie, and New London Creamery locations. The drive will run Dec. 11 through Jan. 19.
