Milton Public Library Collecting for the Infant Food Bank This Summer

Milton Public Library is asking residents to help stock a vital local resource this summer, running a giving campaign in support of the region's Infant Food Bank as families continue to feel the pinch of high living costs.

What Happened

Milton Public Library is running its Summer Giving Campaign in support of the Milton Community Resource Centre's Infant Food Bank. According to information shared by the library, the campaign runs from June 13 to August 21, 2026, and accepts donations of essential baby items at any MPL branch, as well as monetary donations made online. The campaign has set a goal of raising $1,000 to help provide local families with necessities.

Key Details

• The Summer Giving Campaign runs June 13 to August 21, 2026, according to Milton Public Library.

• Donations can be dropped in bins at all three MPL branches, or made online as monetary gifts.

• The stated fundraising goal is $1,000.

• Most-needed items include baby formula, diapers in sizes 2 to 6, and baby food pouches.

• The campaign supports the Milton Community Resource Centre's Infant Food Bank, which serves families with children under three.

Community Impact

For families raising very young children, the cost of formula, diapers, and baby food adds up quickly, and those essentials are not always covered by traditional food banks. The Milton Community Resource Centre's Infant Food Bank has filled that gap in the community since 2007, and the library's summer campaign gives residents a simple, local way to help - whether by dropping off a package of diapers on a library visit or making a small online donation. Every contribution helps keep the shelves stocked during the summer months, when donations often slow down.

Background

The Milton Community Resource Centre operates the Infant Food Bank as a free resource for families with young children, providing items such as diapers, formula, baby food, and related essentials. Milton Public Library operates branches across town and regularly partners with local organizations on community campaigns.
