ONE WEEK LEFT TO HELP DFO’S GIANT MILK GLASS #FILLUPWITHLOVE

It’s the home stretch of Dairy Farmers of Ontario’s (DFO) 2020 Milk and Cookies campaign. There’s only one week left until the #FillUpWithLove initiative reaches its goal on Christmas Eve! Hurry and get your social media messages in by Dec. 24.
 
Join us in sending extra love to kids, their families and front-line medical workers who are spending the holidays away from home and in the hospital. Together, we can support them during what may be an especially difficult holiday season. 
 
DFO has built a giant 18-foot milk glass in Toronto’s Winter Village at the Distillery District to be “filled up” with your virtual messages of support for Ontario children’s hospitals. Each time you share a message on social media using #FillUpWithLove and tagging us @ontariodairy, the milk glass will fill up and display your messages on its screen, and also to be shared with kids inside the hospitals. Learn more about the campaign here. 
 
The goal is for our milk glass to be filled up with messages by Christmas Eve, when it will be transported to the SickKids rooftop in Toronto, Ont., right next to a giant cookie, to make sure Santa doesn’t miss that very important stop. Help fill up our milk glass in time for the special event by following the steps below.
