APPLETON, Wis., Sept. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- To support residents along the Gulf Coast, who have been devastated due to Tropical Storm Harvey, Agropur inc. is responding to the Red Cross's Hurricane Harvey appeal by donating $25,000 that will be used towards disaster relief efforts in the region. These dollars go towards providing food and shelter to the many residents that have been evacuated from their homes and communities. Additionally, Agropur will be delivering a truck full of biPro® protein water and is working with other Wisconsin cheese and buttermakers to collectively donate 16,000 pounds of dairy products to help feed victims in Houston, Texas.
