Cliffs Natural Resources announced Dec. 20 that it is making financial contributions to food banks near operating locations in the United States and Eastern Canada totaling $60,000 from its charitable giving arm, The Cliffs Foundation.

“There are still many people who are struggling to make ends meet, and providing a meal for the family should not be one of those struggles,” said Dana Byrne, Cliffs’ vice president of public and government affairs. “We hope this donation will help local organizations provide healthy meals to families who are facing hardships in our communities.”

Locally, food banks will receive $16,000 to help stock pantry shelves and provide support to families in need. Contributions will be distributed to the food banks by the end of the year.
