The Woodruff Family YMCA in Milford is sponsoring a food drive for the Beth-El Center food pantry and soup kitchen from today until May 1 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Nonperishable foods, cleaning supplies and household staples are requested to support the community’s increase in demand for food and supplies during the COVID-19 crisis.
The food drive will support Beth-El Center’s food programs, including daily bagged lunch and dinner distribution to anyone in the community in need of nutritious meals. The center is meeting the critical food needs of over 80 individuals and families per day who are experiencing food insecurity – a 50 percent increase in meals distributed since the crisis began.
To accommodate social distancing, the YMCA asks contributions to be placed in the bin near the YMCA Bus at 631 Orange Ave. in Milford.
