We are saddened by the death of our President-Elect, Board Member, and loyal volunteer, Nick Moramarco. Nick passed away on March 10, 2009. He was a strong supporter of the food pantry from its inception. Nick represented St. Dominic Savio Church on the committee, which worked diligently to expand the pantry to an ecumenical level. Thanks to his dedicated work, the Affton Christian Food Pantry has grown to 10 member churches and over 400 individual members at the time of this article. Nick worked at the pantry on Tuesday afternoon, meeting with clients and helping them in any way possible. Every Saturday morning, he brought frozen food to the pantry for distribution. Nick devoted his life to Christian service through the St. vincent de paul Society, the ACFP, his work at Midtown Catholic Charities, and many, many ministries at his own parish. Shortly after Nick’s death, the ACFP received official word that our application for 501(c)(3) tax exempt status was approved. We can’t help but feel that Nick’s work was instrumental in this achievement. We offer prayers of comfort for Nick’s family, especially his wife Helen, and prayers of thanksgiving for a life lived in such diligent and faithful service to the Lord.
