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.
