We are excited to announce that the Milford Youth Center received a Greater Milford Community Health Network (CHNA-6) mini-grant to bring back nutritional education to the After School program!
In the past, the Youth Center has tried to offer various different types of programming to promote healthy eating and nutrition. However, this was always dependent upon outside services and/or volunteers. As we have been strategically planning the transition back into our newly renovated building, we have realized the potential of the new space and opportunity to provide quality programs to the youth we serve.
Luckily, the Youth Center was awarded a “Youth At-Rick Grant” that allowed the Center to use these funds to incorporate the infrastructure of the kitchen back into the project. We were also able to incorporate cabinets to the kitchen, free of charge, after being selected by Lowes for a Heroes Project. We are excited to offer two evidenced-based programs to our After School members, starting the next school years, thanks to the generosity of CHNA 6!
