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.

In order to pick up a box for a household, families must register by 5 p.m. on Monday, March 26, 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, 108 E. Washington St., Pandora on State Route 12.

The next pick up is available for Saturday, March 31.
