On Jan 21, 2025, the heart of Ovid's Main Street business district was devastated by a tragic fire that consumed the entire block.

Following the loss, our owners and community began to learn that the cost to clean up was far greater than anyone could expect or plan for, from the debris to the environmental and the extensive labor.

Sessler, Seneca Meadows, Ray DeLong, and Catholic Charities have already done what they can to aid in the cleanup. Now we ask our community and beyond to help our neighbors and friends with the remainder.

Together we are working on a plan to revitalize Ovid, but your help in this step is necessary to begin the process. Funds raised will help clear the final expenses of the clean up and allow us to finally begin the next steps towards rebuilding.
