MERIDEN, CT - From the Ion Bank Foundation: The Ion Bank Foundation has awarded a $3,500 grant to the Boys and Girls Club of Meriden to help fund their Food for Thought dinner program. This program provides a sit down meal for 45 children, ages 6-15, every school night over the course of the school year. An adult “Table Host” at each table guides the dinner conversation to replicate a family dinner table setting serving an essential role by providing the children with a constructive environment which helps build social skills, proper etiquette, emotional security, and other people skills that put them on the path toward success.

Boulier III, CEO of Ion Bank and President of the Ion Bank Foundation said, “The Food for Thought program provides the children with both the nutrition and the family atmosphere they need to grow into healthy, successful, and well-adjusted adults and rise above challenging economic circumstances.”
