Taco President & CEO John Hazen White, Jr. poses with Candy Castaldi, Senior V.P., Circulator Division, Taco, Inc., and with Jean Johnson, Executive Director of House of Hope Community Development Corp. House of Hope, along with the RI Free Clinic, received a $10,000 grant recently from the White Family Foundation.
Taco Inc.’s charitable organization
will now be called the White Family Foundation, formerly the John & Happy
White Foundation, which was established in 2000.
John
Hazen White Jr., president and CEO of Taco, commented that the name
change is a reflection of the Foundation’s continuing efforts as it enters its
second decade of gift-giving. “My late parents established the John & Happy
White Foundation to benefit worthy community-based organizations operating here
in RI for the benefit of Rhode Islanders. While we have altered the Foundation
name slightly to reflect where we are today, the mission they established
remains the same.”
Since
its inception in 2000 the Taco-based White Family Foundation has provided
assistance to almost 300 non-profit organizations active in Rhode Island.
