14th Annual Trick or Trot!

On Saturday, October 25th, put on your favorite costume and lace up your sneakers to run or walk this scenic route through Milford which raises funds for Beth-El Center to support those experiencing hunger and homelessness in the greater Milford area. A huge thank you to our sponsors Harlow, Adams, and Friedman, P.C. and Sikorsky Credit Union! (Participants must register by October 4th to be guaranteed a t-shirt size for the event.)

Save the Date!

Join the Rape Crisis Center of Milford and the Beth-El Center on Thursday, November 13th for our 3rd Annual Barrels for a Cause event! This year, we have partnered once again with Wines and More of Milford to hand pick our barrel (from SoNo1420 Distillery)! Every year, this event highlights the intersection of the work that our two agencies provide to the community, and the overall unity of Milford and the surrounding areas.

Meet Craig

After finding himself without a home and a carpenter by trade, Craig built his own shelter in the woods. Throughout the past several years, Craig has lived in this shelter, while utilizing Beth-El Center’s Outreach and Engagement Services. Our Outreach and Engagement Program focuses on supporting those who are living in places not meant for human habitation. Because of your support, Craig is now housed!
