First Parish Milton

First Parish Milton administers the Milton Residents Fund and related parish funds that provide confidential financial-assistance grants to Milton residents facing short-term hardship. The primary focus is on preventing utility shutoffs and evictions and supporting housing stability. Assistance is provided through a licensed social worker who conducts an interview and financial review. Eligibility is not based solely on income; each case is considered based on individual or family circumstances. Final eligibility and award decisions are made by the First Parish Trustees. First Parish periodically partners with other local organizations (e.g., supporting the Milton Community Food Pantry) on holiday/seasonal food distributions hosted at the Meetinghouse. This resource listing describes a financial-assistance program, not a grocery food pantry.
