New Years Day community lunch shifted focus
MARYVILLE, Mo. — Due to inclement temperatures and persistent snowfall, attendance for local woman Erin Marlow’s New Year’s Day community lunch was lower than anticipated.
With few people coming in, those who hosted the meal decided to go out. Nick Terry, friend of Marlow and occasional sportswriter for The Forum, said the group was able to deliver almost all the event’s remaining food to the Nodaway County Ambulance District, the local jail and MoDOT workers who were clearing the roads.
“We just kind of shifted our focus, and we were able to bless people in that way,” Terry said.
