War on Hunger - #PartnersForGood

                                     

             

Donations

    Every Year The Salvation Army of Evansville Partners with local Schnucks grocery stores to help fight the War on Hunger. The goal of this partnership is to help bring awareness to The Salvation Army feeding programs that operate year-round, and not just around the holidays. In addition, we aim to collect in kind and monetary donations to help support our programs.

    In 2021 during our War on hunger Campaign, we raised almost $60,000 in donations from companies, and around $11,000 of that was brought in directly from Schnucks customers on the day of the event. In addition to the THOUSANDS of canned goods collected on the day of the event. Lastly, with the help of the many donations we receive every week from grocery stores, restaurants, and Tri-State Food Bank.

Volunteers

    While food supplies and money to fund the programs are important, a huge part of any successful feeding program is the logistics. It's the manpower, equipment, and other resources that allow us to be open when people need the food and be able to serve a large number of people in a short amount of time. Volunteers is the great need we are always facing. As old volunteers retire, we need new volunteers to step up and dedicate some time throughout the month in order to care for our clients and those in need.

    All of this was accomplished with 22 volunteers, working just over 50 hours on a Friday, with the preparation and support of around 2-3 employees and the hours they put in.... Just think of what we could do with even MORE help!

Community Partnerships

Tri State Food Bank
We work closely with Tri State Food Bank as a partner agency under the TEFAP USDA program. Through this program we receive government commodities and distribute them through our food pantry to anyone in need. In addition, Tri State receives donations every day from local stores and they allow agencies to "shop" for reduce or no cost, through the many items they store and sort through. It's a one stop shop for all of our food needs. Please see below on the dates and times when our food pantry and soup kitchen our open and operating.

Bauerhaus, Starbucks, and Panera Bread
Our programs are supported by many local businesses, and without their support we would have to use up even more of our precious resources. Bauerhaus catering saves leftovers from events and loads them into our pans for pick up and use in our daily feeding program. Starbucks saves outdated fridge and sandwich items for us to pick up three times a week. Panera Bread on the east side saves their leftover bread from Tuesday and we pick it up Wednesday morning for our daily lunch program and food pantry. We are always looking for more ways to partner and use the resources in the community.
