Pat Niksich Quotations

People came forward who were willing to organize and staff a volunteer food pantry.

In late October we were informed that our local St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store would be closing.

We are doing what we are able to do. The St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry and Conference exist solely on donations and we will continue, through the giving spirit of this community, to be able to offer charitable help to those in need.

What a response. The Ironwood community has responded with overwhelming generosity. Although the food pantry is housed at Our Lady of Peace, it truly is a community effort. Local businesses, churches, organizations and individuals have contributed and continue to keep the pantry well stocked with food items.

All the assistance would have to come from donations, but it was felt that our area needed a food pantry and if possible, the other help that had been offered to those in need.
