Pantry & Produce Distributions
Food Pantry Days
Mondays 8 am – 9:30 am / Wednesdays 8 am – 9:30 am
Patrons can select enough food from shelves to fill a large grocery bag. Seven personal products may be selected from a list once a month. An additional box will be given with a variety of items selected from the inventory such as fresh produce and meat. Qualifying individuals may take advantage of this program twice a month.
Produce Distribution
Patrons must sign in each time produce is distributed. Sign in begins 30 minutes prior to
distribution. An individual may take advantage of this program three times each month. After signing in, wait in the car line until distribution begins, then drive up and a box of produce will be passed out to each car curbside.
1st Tuesday of the month, 8:30 am- 9:30 am
3rd Thursday of the month, 8:30 am – 9:30 am
4th Wednesday of the month, 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Weekend Kids Kits
Weekend Kids Kits are bags of food that are intended to meet the nutritional needs of children during non-school hours, particularly over weekends or longer breaks. These bags contain nonperishable, easy to prepare food designed to help families. Kits are available at the Food Pantry as well as the Elsie Public Library.
Closures: When Ovid-Elsie Area Schools are closed due to weather conditions, the food pantry will also be closed. We are closed for most holidays.
