A resident told the Public Affairs Committee that Pantry Plus of Seneca County, which the commenter said used to be downtown, has moved to a location they identified as 4481 North 23 and now operates on Fridays from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
The commenter said clients must bring identification that includes a birth date — for example, a birth certificate for children or a school ID — and that the pantry serves residents in the Fostoria ZIP code or anywhere within Seneca County boundaries. “It’s only on Fridays from 09:30 to 11:30, and you have to bring ID,” Resident said.
The resident requested volunteers and food donations and said donations can be dropped off on Wednesdays from 4 to 9 p.m. “They are looking for volunteers to help, like, for donation of food, and Wednesdays is when you can drop it off, from 4 to to 09:00,” the resident said. A committee member asked whether the pantry runs every Friday; the resident replied each client may use the pantry once a month, though the pantry operates weekly.
The resident said they will raise the pantry’s needs during the council meeting. The transcript does not record any committee motions or commitments of staff support, funding, or follow-up tasks related to Pantry Plus.
The committee’s public-comment segment concluded after the pantry presentation and no formal action was recorded in the transcript.
