Learning that a family member has cancer is heart-breaking, especially if that person is a child. I know this first-hand because it happened to my family shortly after we had moved to the United States.

One of the most intimidating challenges of moving to a new country is learning a new language and customs. I know this from first-hand experience.

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”
