Meet Jim Hickey, Farmington Community Chest Board Member

The Farmington Community Chest is pleased to welcome Jim Hickey to our Board of Directors.

Jim has worked in the Farmington community for the past six years as General Manager of Quinoco, building relationships with customers and businesses throughout town. His connection to the community ultimately led him and his team to look for ways to give back locally.


As they considered organizations to support, the Farmington Community Chest stood out because of its long history in town and the wide range of programs it supports.


“The Community Chest appealed to us because of its history and the programs that support the community,” Jim said.


He is particularly interested in the Farmington Community Chest’s work with the Farmington Food Pantry and Fuel Bank, two programs that provide direct assistance to local families.


“These programs are so important to make sure families have access to nutritious meals and the ability to stay warm during the winter,” he said.


Jim also brings decades of professional experience to the board. He has worked in the HVAC industry for more than 40 years and currently leads the team at Quinoco. Outside of work, Jim enjoys gardening, hiking, and spending time with his family, including his new grandchild.


We’re grateful to have Jim bring his experience, local connections and commitment to helping our neighbors to the Farmington Community Chest Board. To learn more about Jim, visit him at the Quinoco website!
