Caring Forever
The Caring Forever Fund is a foundation established to perpetuate the life and ministry of Memorial Drive United Methodist Church. Persons may make contributions to the general fund or may also direct the contribution to a specific area within the fund. Each year the foundation trustees allocate the use of the interest earned by the fund leaving the principal in tact.
