Milford Senior Center Food Bank, Beth-El Center Need Our Help
Both the senior center's food bank and the Beth el Center are running very low on food and need donations.
As the holidays grow nearer demand for donations of food intensifies everywhere and Milford is no exception.
More and more seniors are signing up to utilize the Milford Senior Center Food Bank and shelves are nowhere near full, reports WTNH News 8.
In fact, Milford officials can’t keep up with the demand for food, says Sharon Brown, who manages the Food Bank located at the Milford Senior Center at 9 Jepson Drive.
