Free Little Pantries!

Feed Evansville has set a goal to place a Little Pantry in the 40% of Evansville Neighborhoods that are considered a food desert by the end of 2023.

Little Pantries offer a zero-barrier access point to food to help fill the gaps in the food system. They support neighbors who are facing food insecurity while building micro-communities. They empower people to make an immediate change in their neighborhood. Little Pantries are not intended to replace or interfere with the work food security agencies and groups do. They instead work in support of FSA’s to draw awareness to food insecurity issues and create community through collective action in neighborhoods. Little Free Pantries give neighborhoods and communities the ability to help fill gaps in our food system and are a no-barrier, 24/7 access point to food.

Feed Evansville is inviting business, organizations, community members and neighborhoods to be apart of this city wide project. Please select how you would like to be partner with Feed Evansville below.

How can we help?

I need assistance.

I’d like to volunteer or contribute.

I’d like to know more.

Volunteer & Contribute

Join us rain or shine as we work outdoors to feed families in need. Volunteers assist with crowd control, greeting clients, bagging and handing out food and cleaning up. Shifts are usually 3 hours long and take place in various locations across the Evansville area. Can’t volunteer? We’d love your financial support to help us work to increase access to nutritious foods for our community.

Bulk Buying Program

The purpose of our bulk buying program is to help organizations that offer food security programs have access to food supplies that they are hitting barriers when trying to receive. These access issues include quantity available for purchase, local availability, and items not supplied by their main resources. The Feed Evansville Bulk Buying Program was not designed to replace organizations current resources, but to supplement them when their main resources cannot do so. Through our program the organizations will have access to purchase products at the wholesalers price vs retail, allowing their budget to stretch further.

Community Kitchen Booking

Our Community Kitchen is designed to assist local nonprofits in addressing food needs. If you’re part of a nonprofit organization in the Evansville area, our kitchen facility is available for you.

Mobile Food Pantry Schedule

The Neighborhood Food Market will be accepting cash, credit cards, and EBT cards.

The Longest Table is coming to downtown Evansville!

The goal for this FREE dinner event: Build a better sense of community through new relationships; creating connections to strengthen unity and fellowship as we celebrate World Food Day. This is a FREE community dinner, however, please register here on the Eventbrite page.

Why are we planning a Longest Table event? Food is Love. For most people food is equated to love and there is no better setting or time to open individuals up for a new conversation than when they are enjoying a good meal and entertainment. Neighbors of all income levels, backgrounds, and beliefs will have a common table to foster new friendships in Evansville. Building the basic introduction to new individuals can add to everyone’s confidence and ability to reach out to one another and bridge gaps in future community unity and endeavors.

Why does Evansville need a Longest Table event? Evansville, like other towns and cities across the nation, faces issues that divide rather than unite. According to the USDA 40 % of the Neighborhoods in the Evansville area are Food Desert and 20 % of our residence are dealing with Food Insecurity. The Longest Table event is a day to have fun, recognize the food security efforts and volunteers in our city and build bridges to unite all citizens in conversations.

Funds raised through The Longest Table will be used to further Feed Evansville’s Mission and Projects. Please consider participating and becoming a community partner for this unique event through sponsorship. Our goal with your sponsorship is to increase your company exposure, engage and expand your stakeholders, and make a real impact in the lives of those living in the City of Evansville. We value our corporate partners; together we will make a difference in our community.
