Downtown Restaurant Tour raises $16K to fight hunger

FINDLAY, Ohio (Oct. 10, 2025) — Ticket sales for United Way of Hancock County’s upcoming Downtown Restaurant Tour will generate $16,000 to fight hunger in our community.

This popular annual event will return Thursday, Nov. 6, with over 15 local bars and restaurants offering samples of some of their tastiest offerings. From 5-9 p.m. that evening, ticketholders can visit each business to sample the featured food, drink or dessert and get their “Passport” stamped.

Tickets are $40 each and can be purchased through the United Way’s website at www.uwhancock.org. Only 400 Passports will be sold, and this event is expected to sell out.

All proceeds from Passport sales will be put toward fighting hunger across Hancock County, meaning that this year’s event will raise $16,000. United Way’s partners in food security include Christian Clearing House, the Findlay Family YMCA, West Ohio Food Bank and the Salvation Army.

“We hear from people every year who tell us the Downtown Restaurant Tour is their favorite night out in Findlay,” said United Way of Hancock County CEO Kelley McClurkin. “We are proud to shine a spotlight on all our downtown destinations have to offer while raising critical funds to boost food security in our community.”

Passports can be picked up starting Oct. 29 at the United Way office, 318 W. Main Cross, second floor. Business hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and elevator access is available in the back of the building.

Call 419-423-1432 for more information or to arrange for pickup outside of these hours.
