Their mission is to encourage and strengthen the partnership between the citizens of Milton and our public safety first responders. MFRF is dedicated to providing critical resources to those who make the city of Milton a safe place to live, work and visit. Public safety cannot rest on the shoulders of law enforcement and firefighters alone. As much as we all need the police and firefighters, they need our support as well.
