Schnitzer then matched that amount to bring the total donation to $40,000. Irene Cardillo, managing director of Grace Food Pantry, said this is not this first time that Schnitzer has stepped up, adding that the company donated $10,000 when the COVID-19 pandemic surfaced last spring. “They were our very first sponsor. I’ll never forget that,” she said. Cardillo said the donation will be used to help fund the pantry’s operating budget as well as to continue providing pandemic relief. “Even though there’s a vaccine, there’s still that hump we have to get over,” she said. 3RD ANNUAL FRANK MASTROCOLA KIWANIS BOCCE TOURNAMENT FOR THE ERSILIA CUP TO BENEFIT EVERETT KIWANIS, SCHOLARSHIPS AND CHARITY SPONSORED BY SABATINO INSURANCE WHEN: Saturday, June 12, 2021 TIME: Shown, from left to right, are Everett Maintenance Director George Lane, Michael Lachance of Schnitzer, Susan Rugnetta of Schnitzer, Simona DelloRusso of Schnitzer, Irene Cardillo, managing director of the Grace Food Pantry, John Silva of Schnitzer, Joseph Moriarity of Schnitzer and Pastor Jetro Caldeira of the Grace Food Pantry.
