CONNECTING WITH THE

Kurr said one way Kemps connects
with both consumers and the local
communities that it serves is through
its Giving Cow program.
The Giving Cow is an 8-ounce
airtight carton of 2% milk that's shelfstable
for up to a year and is designed
specifically to feed families in need.
" We started the program in 2019
as we were looking for a way to give
back and contribute to our local
communities. As a dairy company,
we thought it made sense to focus on
helping feed people, " Kurr said.
" As we did some research and
talked to some area food banks, we
learned that milk is one of the most
requested items by families, yet
least donated items at food pantries,
because many of these facilities don't
have enough refrigeration.
" That's when we realized that
we had a real opportunity to make
a difference in helping give kids and
families access to nutrient-rich milk
that's shelf-stable so pantries could
keep it on hand. "
Through 2022, Kemps has donated
more than 2 million shelf-stable
Giving Cow milk packs to food banks
throughout the Midwest in cities such
as Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Green
Bay, Wis., Omaha, Neb., and Des
Moines, Iowa, to name a few.
" And we're not done yet, " Kurr said.
The brand has a strong history of
developing innovative products and
fun frozen flavors that consumers
love, which Kurr said has been a key
in making Kemps a beloved brand in
its region.
" Our Giving Cow program also has
really set us apart and helped the brand
create connections with consumers in
our local communities, " he said.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Kurr said Kemps has a sophisticated
approach to customer development,
grounded in consumer and shopper
insights as well as data analytics.
In terms of operations, he
said, Kemps is always striving
for continuous improvement and
operational excellence, seeking out new
technologies and innovation such as
upgrading and replacing equipment on
an ongoing basis and developing policies
