On Monday, September 18, 2017, the Beth-El Center homeless shelter and soup kitchen in Milford received a check in the amount of $4,350 from the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal through its Vicariate Outreach Program.
"This generous donation will assist us in our efforts to realize the goal of ending homelessness. Through the collaborative Coordinated Access Network, where better data and housing resources can be accessed, Beth-El Center has been making great strides to make any episodes of homelessness brief, rare and non-recurring," says Toni Dolan, Executive Director of the Beth-El Center. "This donation will also help us expand our food programs to offer additional evening meals to respond to the growing need in the community."
