Salvation Army and St. Vincents helped out
MARQUETTE COUNTY -- Cliffs Natural Resources, on Monday, announced that it is making financial contributions to food banks at its operating locations totaling more than $35,000 from its corporate foundation.
“During these challenging economic times, the local food banks are under significant pressure to meet the needs of families affected by the current economic downturn,” said Dana Byrne, Cliffs’ vice president and assistant treasurer of the foundation. “We want to do our part to provide assistance, particularly in those communities where Cliffs has its operations.”
Locally, food banks run by the Salvation Army in Ishpeming and the St. Vincent De Paul Society in Negaunee will each receive $5,000 to help stock pantry shelves and provide support to families in need.
Contributions will be conveyed to the food banks by the end of the year.
