We would like to send a HUGE thank you to everyone who was involved in the Milford Summer Food Service Program and for planning tonight’s volunteer appreciation dinner at Trinity Episcopal Church ! The Milford Area Humanitarian Coalition and the Hockomock Area YMCA collaborated to operate an official USDA/MA Department of Education summer meal program this summer. The Milford Summer Food Service Program provided over 7,000 lunches at three meal sites in Milford, one being the Milford Youth Center. The Youth Center was able to provide a space to have an open site for the community and to allow our summer camp families to be provided with a free lunch every day! With 44% of kids in Milford eligible for free and reduced lunch during the school year, this program looked to close the hunger gap that these children face during the summer months. Thank you again to the amazing staff, volunteers and sponsors that made this program possible for our community!
