Thank You Milford Police Dept.!

As many of you know, we have been collaborating with the Milford Police Department (MPD) well before the coronavirus pandemic, whether it was participating in a friendly basketball or softball game during one of our Telethons, attending our community events and/or visiting the kids during the After-School program.
In true fashion they have continued to show their support for our community even in such precarious times by not only keeping our community safe but also providing virtual programming for our members and helping the Milford Youth Center bring birthday gifts and gift giveaways provided by Amazon and

 the United Way of Tri-County’s “Project Toy Box” to over 80 of our youth members. When asked to help we had immediate support from the MPD, especially the Special Ops Unit, who has been present at every birthday/ gift giveaway parade; allowing us to reconnect with our community and youth members. We have continuously seen them take time out of their days to bring joy to our community when we needed it the most. We have been collecting “thank you” messages from our youth members/families and several from Miss Fahey’s Team 8 – Grade 5 class at Woodland Elementary School since April who were given the assignment to write an acrostic poem for their ELA class, (a poem where certain letters in each line spell out a word or phrase) and we were able to finally share them to the Milford PD with a board we made for the station! You can check out the messages and photos here as well!

Even in these times where we cannot ignore the systemic social injustices being experienced and witnessed throughout the country, we want our community to know they have a local police dept that supports our mission to provide a safe environment that promotes self-esteem, builds character, and fosters the notion of community and the importance of respecting and serving others. We are all stronger together! Thank you again Milford PD for keeping us safe and helping our community stand strong together!
