The Yacht Lobsters are coming to Milford!

The Yacht Lobsters serve up the best of Yacht Rock with tight horns, dynamic guitars, rich harmonies, a splash of funk, and tons of fun.

This Wish List supports individuals who are currently unsheltered and continuing to rebuild stability after one of the harshest winters Connecticut has ever seen.

These individuals have survived extreme conditions and many of them are still navigating encampments and relying on street outreach.

These items go directly toward helping them survive and move through the day safely and with dignity.

All items can be dropped off or shipped via Amazon to Beth-El Center at 90 New Haven Ave in Milford. Drop off is ANY TIME! There is always someone waiting at our front desk to greet you.

Please label all shipments Outreach.

Thank you for being a part of this community and helping in whatever way you can - big or small - every gesture of kindness counts!
