“This is EMCOR's 9th consecutive year of spearheading the national pink hard hat initiative.

“Valley Milk is honored to be selected to join EMCOR for this national pink hard hat event,” said Smith. “Today is not about Valley Milk and dairy processing, but is about community. As a new employer in the community we take this opportunity to give back and share in the fight for a cure, treatment, and awareness of cancer. It is coming together for a common cause and being strong together.”
