 2026 Annual Kettle Campaign

Applications & Scheduling will open October 2026

Each year, our Kettle campaign helps raise vital funds to support Milton families through our Food Bank and Community Services programs. Last year, thanks to the generosity of volunteers and donors, we raised over $168,000, directly helping 4,045 residents in need.

The campaign typically runs over 5 weeks in late November through December and requires hundreds of volunteers to make it a success. We hope you'll consider volunteering in the 2026 campaign!
