We are keeping busy here at the Youth Center, doing whatever we can to help the community and use our resources to connect with those in need! Here are some updates as to what we have accomplished this past month to stay positive and do our part in the community!
Mask Making: In addition to the 500 mask kits for the food distribution at Memorial Elementary School we put together with the help of Milford TV, we have also made 125 mask kits for the Meals on Wheels and individuals at the Senior Center; 25 mask kits for the Highway
Dept; 88 mask kits for the employees of Town Hall and their families; 23 mask kits for Library employees; 20 mask kits for First Unitarian Church Day Care; 10 mask kits for the Veteran’s Office; 50 mask kits for the Board of Health and numerous individual masks donations to community members for a total of over 820 mask kits to the Milford Community. We couldn’t have accomplished this without community donations of fabric and elastics! If you would like to donate materials please connect with us 508-473-1756 or email here!
Food Distribution: With the continued support and generosity of Amazon and Ariea Bryan, we have been able to continue food, toiletry and pet food donations to various community organizations including: Milford High School to be distributed to families through the free breakfast, lunch and weekend emergency food
program, the Milford Daily Bread Food Pantry, the Milford Humane Society and weekly care packages for some of our senior volunteers!
Amazon Birthday Gift Distribution:During the school year, we were able to let kids of our after school program pick a prize from donated toys, games and books accumulated from our Amazon donation deliveries. We felt
that kids would like an extra surprise on their birthdays while they are home during this difficult time so starting last week we began to deliver them! With the help of Milford Special Ops team, we will continue Birthday Gift
deliveries to the kids of our program in May, which has 45 birthdays!
Milford Senior Center Message Requests: We are reaching out to the community with helping us send messages to our senior population with messages of “We are thinking about you!” We will be collaborating with the Milford Senior Center to get these messages out. You can send a picture of yourself with a message or the message by itself to milfordyouthcenter@comcast.net
