Deborah Nigrelli Quotations

One thing about our pantry that makes us different is that we're feeding people on a weekly basis.

I don't think society as a whole realizes that there are needy families in South County, that the numbers have been documented over the years. A lot of people do fall through the cracks.

The towns have not stepped up to the plate. We can't wait 15 years for that to happen-it has to happen now. When you think about all the towns in South County, there are just two shelters (the Welcome House in Peace Dale and the W.A.R.M. Shelter in Westerly) and they're both filled to capacity, so where can we put these people?

It's very unnerving, and unfortunately the numbers have gotten larger and the lines longer. It's frustrating, in seeing the help not come from the state.
