The Kozy Kids winter clothing initiative launched in Milton in 2021, in response to a growing need among local youth for adequate winter clothing. Initially inspired by reports of children missing school due to a lack of proper winter gear, the initiative began with school outreach efforts and quickly identified more than 100 students in need. Through generous community donations of gently used and new winter wear, each child received a snowsuit or winter coat. 

Since its launch, the initiative has expanded to include the entire region of Halton. In its second year, Kozy Kids provided winter clothing to 475 children and has continued to grow. To date, more than 1,200 children in Halton have received winter essentials through the Kozy Kids program, which is now entering its 5th year.

Recipients are identified through collaboration with the Halton District School Board and the Halton District Catholic School Board. Kozy Kids relies entirely on community support and financial contributions. Every dollar raised is used directly to provide winter clothing for local children.
