Serving Breakfast with a Smile

 

Caring for our local communities through breakfast

  Breakfast at Fairfiew School

Whether donating food, time or money, Richards industries and our employees have always sought to brighten futures of those in our local communities – particularly the children.

Each year, Beth Mogg, IT Manager, focuses on helping children get the nutrition they need to be their best. She partners with Project Connect, a local Cincinnati charity, to help cook and serve food to children in need.

This year, employees met very early at the Fairview School to join children attending the summer program. Fresh eggs, bacon, fruit, bagels and cream juice, along with orange juice were served to about 60 kids ages 5 to 16. “A nutritious breakfast is imperative to help children learn and grow” says Beth Mogg. “I get such satisfaction out of working with Project Connect and seeing, first hand, how it is affecting the children around me.”
