Hiland Dairy and the got milk? team provided hundreds of gallons of milk to help the volunteers, builders and crew members of Extreme Makeover Home Edition, when they took to the streets of Joplin to rebuild seven homes in seven days that were previously destroyed by the devastating tornado. Thanks to the combined team efforts, seven families got to share their first meal together in a brand new kitchen. The Extreme Makeover Home Edition episode was aired on January 13, 2012 as the show's 200th episode. Over 10,000 volunteers from all 50 states assisted in the enormous rebuilding effort.

During a hard workout, such as a triathlon, muscle tissue can break down. That is why Hiland Dairy was at the finish line of the Redman Triathlon in Oklahoma City with the ultimate recovery drink, Hiland Dairy Fat Free Chocolate Milk. The high-quality protein found in chocolate milk is needed to help rebuild muscle tissue. Combine that with the carbohydrates found in milk to help refuel the muscles. Add electrolytes to the mix to replenish what's lost in sweat, as well as the fluids needed to rehydrate the body, and you've got a healthly, post-workout recovery routine.

Hiland Dairy was on hand at the Big Dam Bridge 100 in Little Rock, Arkansas to refuel the athletes with the ultimate recovery drink - Hiland Dairy Fat Free Chocolate Milk. Chocolate milk naturally contains many of the nutrients needed for an anthlete to recover after a strenuous workout. This includes high-quality protein and key electrolytes such as calcium, potassium, sodium and magnesium.
