It was during the Second World War that one of the largest Kin projects of all time, Milk for Britain, took place.
Responding to a radio appeal for milk for British children, Rogers began to rally Kin troops across Canada to raise funds for the purchase of powdered milk. The goal for the first year was to raise enough money to purchase one million quarts. Within nine months, Kinsmen and Kinettes had supplied more than three million quarts. By the end of the Milk for Britain campaign, the Kin family had raised more than $2 million and sent 50 million quarts of milk to Britain. The wartime effort saw the emergence of 41 new Kinsmen clubs and the formation of a new part of the organization - Kinettes.

Amongst the first projects for the Kinsmen Club of Brantford was involved in was the Milk for Britain (a project supported by all Kinsmen Clubs across Canada) during World War II.
