Who Randy was

A dairy farmer who fed his neighbors.

Randy Davis and his brother started Davis Brothers Dairy in Philadelphia, Tennessee, in 1984. In 2011 he began organizing milk drives around Knoxville, raising money so East Tennessee food banks could stock fresh milk.

Randy passed away in 2016. His family still runs the farm, and they started this fund so his milk drives would keep going. Today it buys milk on a weekly and monthly schedule for communities where families can't always afford it.

“This is the community that helped to raise me, so I have to give back. It’s part of who I am.” Sam Craun, Randy's daughter and co-owner of Davis Brothers Dairy

Where the milk goes

Pickup beds, pantry fridges and a lot of neighbors.

The fund buys milk by the case and volunteers haul it to food pantries across East Tennessee, where it goes straight into the fridge for families to take home.
