Dairy Farmers of Ontario’s Milk & Cookies campaign returns
Who: Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO)
What: The organization is making a $500,000 donation to The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and other Ontario children’s hospitals as part of its annual Milk & Cookies campaign.
Those hospitals include McMaster Children's Hospitals in Hamilton, Children's Hospital in London and CHEO in Ottawa.
Since 2019, DFO's total donations through the Milk & Cookies campaign will exceed $3 million.
DFO is bringing back its Magic Milk Glasses. The organization invites Ontarians to help design these keepsakes that will be given to children spending the holidays at Ontario children's hospitals.
The Magic Milk Glasses feature drawings and matching built-in cookie cutters, drawn by children from across the province.
DFO is also hosting its first-ever Magic Milk Truck experience, a mobile pop-up stopping at Shops at Don Mills on Nov. 23 at 10:00 a.m., where families can enjoy complimentary milk and cookies, and have the opportunity to design and submit their own Magic Milk Glass drawing.
"Dairy Farmers of Ontario is committed to supporting communities across Ontario. We want to show children and their families spending the holidays in Ontario children's hospitals that we are thinking of them," said Cheryl Smith, CEO of Dairy Farmers of Ontario, in a release. "Our Magic Milk Glass initiative goes beyond the donation to ensure these children are able to experience the special Christmas Eve ritual of leaving milk and cookies out for Santa."
