It has become an annual tradition for the Milford Town Library to collect hats, gloves, and scarves as part of its Mitten Tree Drive. A portion of what is collected is given to military families with the assistance of Thanks To Yanks, a local charity that serves military families. 

Michael Shain, the founder and president of Thanks to Yanks said, “The town library has a wonderful history of supporting those who wear the uniform of our nation.”
