MYC Monthly Gratification

Each month, we thank an individual, business and/or organization who supports our efforts. This month we would like to recognize three of our dedicated volunteers, Judy, Pam and Bill.

Judy, Pam and Bill are three of our volunteers that we see weekly. That is because they each have chosen days of the week that work best for their schedule, to come in and pack the dinners for the children for the After-School Program.

To some, that may sound like a simple task. While it does not require a spreadsheet, it does require strategy and commitment. If it weren’t for Judy, Pam and Bill, this task would fall on our full-time staff, who already have limited time for administrative work before shifting to the After-School Program. To us at the Center, they provide reliability, commitment and care. To the children, it is consistency, nourishment, and it reminds them that someone else is helping to take care of them. For parents and guardians, it is peace of mind.

To put their volunteer time into perspective, they have saved the Center approximately $4,522.70 in time since September 2025 through April 2026, putting 40+ dinners together daily for the registered after-school members.

The time Judy, Pam and Bill commit every week allows MYC full-time staff to plan. It allows us to rely on them, as they willingly took on this volunteer role and have remained committed throughout the entire school year, as well as for several months the previous year. We all greet each other, carry on with silly banter and bombard them with photos! Their choice to continue to show up proves nothing but character and dedication to their responsibility to their chosen volunteer dedication spot, the Milford Youth Center. For that, we feel lucky and forever grateful. Thank you all!
