State Sen. James Maroney visited the Beth-El Center Nov. 22, which he recently highlighted in his small business and nonprofit spotlight video series, shared to constituents via email and social media. The center is taking donations for the holiday season.
Maroney said the Beth-El Center is doing great work in the community.
“I encourage all who can to stop by the Beth-El Center and make a donation this holiday season,” Maroney said. “If you cannot make it to the Beth-El Center, there are many places in Milford, Orange, West Haven and Woodbridge receiving donations for families in need.”
The Beth-El Center is looking for the following items: paper lunch bags, sandwich bags and napkins; juice boxes; granola and pudding; spices; salad dressing; mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard; sugar; powdered drinks; coffee; grated cheese; and hand soap and hand sanitizer
The Beth-El Center provides support services and advocacy to combat homelessness and hunger within the Greater Milford area, including a 34-bed homeless shelter, food service programs and a “No Freeze Shelter” for those in need during frigid winter evenings.
