GIVING FEELS GREAT! In the last week, Land of Lincoln Credit Union has handed out $20,000 to several central Illinois food pantries including Northeast Community Fund, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Springfield, Illinois, 6:35 Pantry in Vandalia, Effingham Catholic Charities Events Page, Catholic Charities of Mattoon, Loaves & Fishes of Pana and The Salvation Army Service Center of Centralia.
