PORTLAND — Oakhurst Diary is donating more than $21,000 to The Salvation Army of Northern New England.

This is the company’s largest donation in the 15 years since beginning its annual Egg Nog fundraising effort. Oakhurst has donated a portion of its annual Egg Nog sales ”“ five cents for every container sold during the holiday season ”“ to The Salvation Army since 1999. The company reports that this year’s milestone means that Oakhurst has provided more than $260,000 in total support from this fundraising tradition. Bill Bennett of Oakhurst presented a check for this year’s donation to The Salvation Army on Jan. 29 at 10 a.m. at the organization’s Portland headquarters located at 299 Cumberland Avenue.

The funds raised for The Salvation Army of Northern New England will be divided between its 22 Corps Community Centers across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. The Salvation Army Massachusetts Division will also receive a portion of funds raised. The support will be used to supply meals, after-school tutoring, recreational activities and shelter for those in need.

Each holiday season, Oakhurst makes several Egg Nog flavors including its traditional and Light Egg Nog and its newest flavors Chocolate Nog and Buttered Rum Egg Nog. All of the company’s Egg Nog is made with milk from Maine dairy farms.
