This month, I graduated from the Quest program through Leadership Greater Hartford 🎉 Quest has been a transformative journey, teaching me about my individuality, personality type, work style, and strengths. It highlighted my opportunities for growth, which are invaluable for teamwork and leadership in my professional life. This program empowered me to model the way, challenge the process, and work within a task force to create Hartford Connect, a resource designed to break down the silos between Hartford nonprofits supporting immigrant families and individuals. I am deeply grateful to my employer, Connecticut Foodshare, for sponsoring me. A heartfelt thank you to my team at the Institute for their support as I dedicated time to this program. Special thanks to Mae Maloney and Andre at LGH for designing such an intentional program filled with amazing facilitators and meaningful activities. Much appreciation to my Hartford Connect (Immigration Support) taskforce; I am thrilled to have met you and proud of the resource we created for our community.

No one deserves to experience food insecurity — but for more than 465,000 Connecticut residents, that’s the reality. Connecticut Foodshare mobilizes partners and volunteers like Guardian Life to distribute nutritious food throughout communities and help alleviate hunger. The impact? Last year, enough food was distributed to prepare more than 40 million meals for Connecticut residents in need. To my colleagues committed to championing community at Guardian & beyond: Wendy Wahl: Your contributions as a Connecticut Foodshare board member is only one example of the way you approach leadership and life with such thoughtful compassion and care. Francine Chew: Thank you for your fearless leadership and continued dedication to our collective corporate impact. Watching our values in action inspires me every day. #CSR #CommunityImpact #FoodSecurity
Some of my most rewarding work happens when I help others thrive. During my seven years as a board member for Connecticut Foodshare, I’ve seen first-hand the impact that achieving food security can have on improving the well-being of our communities – particularly during the holiday season. As a member of the Feeding America nationwide network of food banks, Connecticut Foodshare supports individuals and families across the state. By mobilizing partnerships with community food pantries, meal programs, shelters, volunteers, and supporters, Connecticut Foodshare delivers an informed and equitable response to hunger.
