WAYNE COUNTY, OH, May 8, 2025 — The Wayne County Health Department, in collaboration with the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank, will host its next monthly pop-up food pantry on Tuesday, May 13 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the health department parking lot located at 244 West South Street, Wooster. Individuals and families can receive food if their income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level ($30,120/year for individuals and adding $10,760 per year for each additional family member). For example, a family of four whose annual household income is $62,400 or less would be eligible. This pantry will return to market style like last summer, versus the drive-through style like we have done over the winter. Those who qualify can pick what they want, similar to last summer’s pantries. We will assist those who have mobility issues. “We served over 125 families in April. We are very excited to bring back the market-style pantry this month. Many of the participants have indicated they prefer this over the drive-through style.” Said Nick Cascarelli, Wayne County Health Commissioner. To volunteer at the pop-up pantry, please call the Wayne County Health Department at (330) 264-9590 ext. 207.
