We are proud to support our Non-Profit Members!
Neighbour to Neighbour
For over 35 years, our team of dedicated staff and volunteers have been working to meet the issues of food insecurity and poverty head on. We do this by offering programs that our neighbours have identified as critical. Neighbour to Neighbour offers tutoring programs for children, food skills programs, family counselling, utility subsidy programs and access to emergency food. We create welcoming spaces where people gather to grow, cook, share, and advocate for good food.

Milton Community Resource Centere (MCRC)
Milton Community Resource Centre (MCRC) is a not-for-profit, multi-service and multi-site organization that provides services to children and families of Milton and the surrounding communities, as well as professionals who work in the field of Early Learning and Child Care.
We offer a wide range of early learning and child care programs, parent support programs as well as professional development and resources which reflect the needs within Milton and the broader Halton community.
Mission:
MCRC will empower all citizens of Halton’s diverse community by providing programs and supports that are high quality, inclusive, accessible, and affordable, aimed to address the impacts of poverty and inequity.
Programs:
MCRC Licensed Child Care Programs provide care for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school age children. All licensed child care programs have enrolled in the Canada Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) system, making child care more affordable for families.
MCRC’s EarlyON Child and Family Centres offer free programs for caregivers and children from birth to 6 years old. You can learn and play with your child, meet people or get advice.
Our Family Fun Programs provide a positive learning environment that enables child initiated – adult supported play, and engages families in active, creative and meaningful experiences together. Led by trained Program Facilitators, they connect with children and families, plan and extend play in a way that engages the whole family.
The work of the Artists & Children Together (ACT) initiative is to build an understanding of the importance of art as a language. Using art as an expressive tool, ACT experiences inspire creativity and foster a sense of belonging, while building relationships.
The Halton Resource Connection (THRC) works in partnership with individuals and organizations who serve the interests of children and youth within the Halton community, providing curriculum resources, services, equipment, and professional learning which enhance the quality of care.
