LETTER TO THE EDITOR
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The Columbus Food Pantry has been distributing food once a month to families who need a helping hand for 15 to 20 years. Over the years the number of families that need help has grown and it is estimated that we serve approximately 270 families of which somewhere around half of these families are senior citizens. Every year we try to provide a turkey for Thanksgiving and a ham for Christmas. An elderly gentleman told me his wife makes turkey soup, salad, and they eat off the turkey for a whole week. If we order the turkeys and hams in October and pay for them at that time we get a much better price, usually up to 50 cents per pound. We need to raise $13,500 by September 30 for this to be possible. All contributions are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. It is through the kind generosity of people like you that these families have a more fulfilling life and this ministry may continue to spread Christ’s love. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 979-256-7912 or Sandra at the Methodist Church 979-732-2643. If we don’t know the answer we will find out and call you back. Thank you, 09/27/2023 12:00 AM

Get the facts before committing to Medicare Advantage
As the administrator for Columbus Community Hospital, I get to visit with members of our community during some of their happiest moments. And some of their most painful. Unfortunately, some of these more difficult moments happen when our senior patients can’t get the treatment or care their doctor recommends because they don’t have appropriate insurance coverage. 09/27/2023 12:00 AM
