Memorial United Methodist Church of Gladstone recently contributed $333.75 to St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry in Gladstone, and another $333.75 to Salvation Army Food Pantry in Escanaba. Memorial Church, which is worshipping online due to the pandemic, received the money to support local food panties as a portion of their Thanksgiving Offering. In past years, they have held a month-long food drive in November as part of their in-person worship services.
