In an effort to help relieve some of the hardship and financial difficulty of the depressed economy in the Pandora-Gilboa area, the churches of Pandora and the Gilboa United Methodist Church are offering food boxes on the last Saturday of each month for households in the Pandora-Gilboa school district who find themselves in need.
The boxes are designed to provide nine meals (three breakfasts, three lunches and three dinners) for a family of four.
