In an effort to help relieve some of the hardship and financial difficulty of the depressed economy in the Pandora and Gilboa area, the churches of Pandora and the Gilboa United Methodist are offering food boxes on the last Saturday of every month for households in the Pandora-Gilboa school district that find themselves in need.

The boxes are designed to provide nine meals (3 breakfasts, 3 lunches, and 3 dinners) for a family of four.

In order to pick-up a box for a household, you must register by 5 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 20, by calling 419-384-3905.

Boxes will be available for pickup under the name registered on the last Saturday of the month at 11 a.m. at Pandora United Methodist Church located at 108 E. Washington St.. in the center of Pandora on State Route 12. The next pick-up is available on Saturday, Feb. 25.
