“For the last few years, I’ve attended Scholarship Foundation of East Providence’s Annual Holiday Breakfast, the Saturday after Thanksgiving,” said Paul Pliakas, of Liberty Tax. “I’m always so impressed by the great work they do to benefit the East Providence community. There is nothing more important than making post-secondary education more affordable.”
