On Thursday evening I was honored to be among a group of local businesspeople inducted into the Junior Achievement of Southwest New England’s Business Hall of Fame.

One thing that made the evening so special was that my children were there to see me accept the award. I believe it is one of our greatest responsibilities to inspire and educate the next generation, which is why the mission of Junior Achievement is so close to my heart.

Through the Tariq Farid Foundation, we have been blessed to be able to support many worthwhile organizations that are helping those in need.

Yet I never cease to be amazed at the generosity of those who are willing to give their time and energy to help ease the suffering.

One such organization is the Connecticut Food Bank, the state’s non-profit leader in the fight against hunger and the largest provider of charitably donated food. Last year the organization and its partners provided enough food to prepare more than 18 million meals. Continue reading “Tariq Farid Foundation lends its support to the fight against child hunger”
