The Greater Milford Community Health Network, also known as CHNA 6, is looking to support emergency food and toiletry programs in the region in order to ensure that everyone who needs access to these resources are able to receive it. 

 

Based on successful models in other regions, we have created a monthly calendar that can be widely shared with the community so everyone can know about all the amazing resources that are available to them. This will also help us identify any gaps, that we as community, could work together to address! 

  • For link click here. We also have a downloaded QR code that you can easily use and share (download available below). 
  • If you would like to see an additional resource on the calendar, please email coordinator@chna6.org 
  • Google Chrome allows you to access the calendar in all languages! In order to do this, you must download a Google Chrome Extension called “Google Translate”. For more information, click here

CHNA 6 Meeting: We would like to thank everyone who attended our last meeting on Friday, November 14, 2025, in person, at Memorial Hall. At our recent meeting, we celebrated two major milestones: announcing our 2025 Fall Community Grant awards and launching the development of our Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).

With support from our consulting partners at Holleran, the meeting began with a presentation on the three Priority Areas identified through your feedback. Following an overview of the CHIP development process, participants divided into three workgroups. Each group collaborated to draft an overarching goal, define key objectives, outline strategies, identify essential partnerships, and determine outcome measures for its priority area.

We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who joined the meeting and participated in the focus groups. Your insight sparked meaningful discussions and will directly influence the direction and impact of the new CHIP!

 

Thank you to Memorial Hall for providing a space to host the meeting!
