Each month we thank an individual, business and/or organization who supports our efforts. This month we would like to recognize a local business who has made such an impact on the Milford Youth Center, West Street Autobody of Milford!
Each holiday season, the MYC reaches out to the community asking for gift donations for the youth that attend our free after-school program. Both individuals and businesses play such an important part in making this a success. One business in particular, West Street Autobody, a family owned and run business, has participated by “adopting” kids. They receive the wish lists of a certain number of children and together, they make the dreams and wishes of children they do not know come true.
In April of 2024, Heloiza and her brother, Luiz agreed to participate in one of the amazing MYC Life Skills programs. They were so generous with their time and thrilled to be a part of it. They brought a vehicle and taught the kids how to change the oil, talked about the process of jump-starting a car and explained that a car really is just a big computer! The kids who participated in the program absorbed all the information that both Luiz and Heloiza shared and taught. Thank you for your time and your expertise. Thank you for teaching the children life skills that will hopefully stick with them!
Most recently, West Street Autobody won a sponsored radio ad spot in a raffle they had participated in. They graciously gifted the Milford Youth Center with the gift of the spot they had won. The ad, which we recorded with MyFM 101.3 of Milford, helped us to make two 60-second radio ads to talk about our summer camp and our upcoming golf tournament.
Thank you, West Street Autobody, for your kind consideration to the youth of Milford and the Milford Youth Center! We look forward to working together again soon!
