Milford Youth Center Gets Large Holiday Donation

MILFORD, MA — Following a big holiday gift drive, the Milford Youth Center received a sizable donation from a local law firm over the holidays. The law offices of Alavi and Braza sent the youth center $2,500.

"Keep up the great work!" the law office wrote in a card to the youth center.

They were likely referring, at least in part, to the center's big 2019 holiday gift drive. For Christmas, the center raised about $20,000, enough to buy 120 gifts for members of the after-school program.

The 2019 holiday party got support from Pizza Chef, the Milford Rotary, United Way of Tri-County, Dunkin', West Street Auto Body, and many others, according to youth center director Jen Ward.

The Milford Youth Center's largest fundraiser of the year is coming up next month. The 10th annual St. Patrick's Day Fundraiser will be held on March at CraftRoots Brewing from 7 to 11 p.m.
