The Milford Kiwanis Club will be on-hand at the Milford Oyster Festival this year, happening August 17, rain or shine.  The Club will have a booth in the Food Court, serving up all of the favorites: hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries, fried shrimp, scallops, oysters and clams, sausage and peppers, lobster rolls, pulled pork, cold calamari salad, as well as soft drinks and water.

 “The Milford Oyster Fest is the event of the summer – and is a wonderful way to support the local community and businesses, as well as area charities,” said Gideon King, Participation Coordinator for the Kiwanis Club. “The Kiwanis Club is proud to support Milford, and be recognized as a Charitable Food Vendor. All proceeds received that day will be put directly into local and international charitable funds. ”

Kiwanis is focused on the health and welfare of children; the local contributions go to a variety of charitable needs including the Boys and Girls club, scholarships, and many other projects.  International contributions are use for children in truly dire need. By focusing and eliminating disease like IDD iodine deficiency disorder, Kiwanis will not only save lives but pave the way of future interventions that will boost maternal health and child survival among the poorest children in the world.
