Beth-El Center Shelter and Soup Kitchen in Milford Receives Funding from the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal

Beth-El Center homeless shelter and soup kitchen in Milford, a provider of emergency housing and food solutions, recently received a $6,110.00 donation from the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal through its Vicariate Outreach Program.       

This funding will be used to support the operation of the Beth-El Center’s emergency homeless shelter, food programs and support services for men, women, veterans and families in the Milford area who are experiencing homelessness. Additionally, it will support the Center's outreach and diversion efforts which work to prevent hunger and homelessness in our community.

"Beth-El Center is very appreciative to receive funding from the Archdiocese of Hartford,” says Jennifer Paradis, Executive Director of Beth-El Center. “We’re grateful for their support, which allows us to continue to respond to the increased demand for the basic needs of food and stable housing. As a result of the pandemic, our neighbors continue to experience hardships and this funding helps us respond to those who are reaching out for critical assistance.”

Over the past 19 months of the pandemic, the Center has served nearly 55,000 meals in our soup kitchen, sheltered nearly 500 individuals, families, and veterans and moved nearly 400 people to permanent housing.
