Meet the Chairperson
Milford calls itself the " Small City with a Big Heart." a community with an old hometown feel. As a Milford native Kim Freda has a love for this City and shows it with all of her dedication to the Milford community. "Wouldn't it be a great thing to have a person who could work with these (community) agencies, utilize our contributions and determine where this significant amount of money should be given?" And with those words, Kim has made a positive impact on the civic organizations in the city of Milford.
