Dairy Farmers of Ontario Makes Milk & Cookies Mean Even More With Annual Holiday Donation and Heartwarming Pop-up

TORONTO,  This season, in the spirit of spreading holiday cheer and supporting our communities, Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO) will make a donation of $500,000 to The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and other Ontario children's hospitals in Hamilton (McMaster Children's Hospitals), London (Children's Hospital) and Ottawa (CHEO). Since 2019, DFO's total donations through the Milk & Cookies campaign will exceed $3 million, supporting the highest priority needs across the hospitals and supporting children and families spending the holidays in Ontario hospitals. 

To make the magical ritual of leaving milk and cookies out for Santa mean even more, DFO is bringing back the Magic Milk Glasses. DFO invites Ontarians to help design these special 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, so the tradition of putting out milk and cookies for Santa can be experienced by all. 

This holiday season, Dairy Farmers of Ontario are also hosting their first-ever Magic Milk Truck experience, a mobile pop-up stopping at Shops at Don Mills on Saturday, November 23 at 10:00 AM, where families can enjoy complimentary milk and cookies, and have the opportunity to design and submit their own Magic Milk Glass drawing.
