DFO LAUNCHES 2020 MILK AND COOKIES CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT SICKKIDS AND OTHER CHILDREN’S HOSPITALS

Dec 04, 2020

The Milk and Cookies holiday campaign is back for a second year in support of Ontario children’s hospitals. This year, to take it a step further, Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO) is rallying Ontarians to show support for the children in hospitals, their families and front-line medical workers who can’t be home for the holidays—with a new, exciting activation.

On Dec. 1, 2020, DFO kicked off its Milk and Cookies campaign with the #FillUpWithLove initiative, launching its 18-foot, interactive milk glass structure in the Winter Village at the Distillery District in Toronto.

DFO's giant milk glass won't be filled up with milk, but with virtual messages of love and support.
