News Release

MILFORD — Meet Milford, a local community group dedicated to supporting initiatives, which fosters growth and connection in Milford, announced it made a donation of $1,000 to the Living in Transition Effectively Recovery Hub. The funds were raised in part by a successful spaghetti dinner event hosted on Friday, Dec. 6.

L.I.T.E. residents and supporters played a vital role in the event by assisting in preparing and serving the dinner to the Milford community. The event brought together local individuals and families for an evening of fellowship, great food and a shared love of Buddy the Elf and Christmas. The evening was capped off by the second annual tree-lighting ceremony on the lawn at town hall.

“We are thrilled that the evening was so successful, and we are proud to contribute this donation to L.I.T.E. Recovery Hub, which does essential work for individuals in recovery,” said Angie Deak, vice president of Meet Milford. “This event was a perfect example of the Milford community gathering together to celebrate the season.”

In addition to the spaghetti dinner, Meet Milford organizes and hosts Food Truck Fridays in downtown Milford from June to October on the third Friday each month. The team, consisting of Sierra Clark-Kern, Deak, Karina Wilkinson and Tricia Gall, also organizes the annual Milford Holiday Market in November at Milford Elementary School.

L.I.T.E. Recovery Hub, a nonprofit organization located in Milford, is dedicated to providing resources, housing and support for individuals with mental health and substance use disorders.

“We are deeply grateful for this generous donation,” said Tammy Cotton, executive director of L.I.T.E. Recovery Hub. “The funds will help us continue to provide much-needed services to those in recovery. The support from Meet Milford, as well as the time and effort from the residents and volunteers who helped with the dinner, mean the world to us and to those we serve.”
