The United Way is partnering with United Methodist Church of Pella to distribute food ahead of the holidays. Pastor Jason Larson says anyone in the community can pick up boxes of protein, fruit, and vegetables from 1-3 p.m. on Friday, December 18th drive-thru style in their parking lot at 1414 University Street. Larson says there is no pre-registration required, and it will be a quick pick-up process.
