Each month, we thank an individual, business and/or organization who supports our efforts. This month, it is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of Paul Mina, President and Chief Executive Officer of the United Way of Tri-County. We share our condolences with his family, friends, coworkers, and the vast community of individuals and partners that he helped support through all his efforts over the last 30 years with the United Way. This month, we choose to honor the extraordinary legacy of Paul Mina, whose unwavering commitment to the youth of Milford helped shape generations of lives through the Milford Youth Center.
For more than two decades, Paul and The United Way of Tri-County stood beside the Milford Youth Center as steadfast supporters, advocates, and partners. Recognizing the critical need for a permanent home for this invaluable program, Paul worked alongside the Milford Select Board to successfully lobby for the historic Milford Armory to be donated by the state for just $1.00, a milestone that made today’s Milford Youth Center possible.
Under Paul’s leadership, The United Way of Tri-County fully funded the Executive Director position for more than a decade and partnered with the Youth Commission to secure both immediate and long-term financial stability for the Center. Even today, the organization continues to serve as the fiduciary for the Youth Center, ensuring that community members and businesses can support its mission through charitable contributions.
Paul Mina’s vision, dedication and belief that every child deserves opportunity, regardless of financial circumstances, created a lasting impact that will continue for generations to come. We are deeply grateful for his leadership, compassion, and unwavering support of Milford’s youth.
His legacy lives on in every child empowered, every family supported, and every life changed through the Milford Youth Center.
