Evansville Food Drive Seeks Volunteers This Sunday

When families in Evansville need food, their neighbors show up to help.

This Sunday, local nonprofit Feed Evansville is hosting a food distribution event and needs volunteers to make it happen. The event runs at the C.K. Newsome Community Center, offering two shift times so more people can participate.

Volunteers can choose between a 3 to 6 p.m. shift or a 4 to 7 p.m. shift. The tasks are simple but crucial: setting up food stations, handing out groceries directly to families, breaking down boxes, and cleaning up afterward.

No special skills are required. You just need a willingness to help and a few hours of free time.

The Ripple Effect

Food insecurity affects thousands of families across Indiana, but community-driven efforts like this one are changing that story one distribution event at a time. When volunteers show up, they do more than hand out groceries. They send a powerful message to their neighbors: you're not alone, and your community cares.

These events also strengthen the fabric of local communities. Volunteers often report feeling more connected to their neighbors and more hopeful about solving problems together. Families receiving support gain not just food, but dignity and reassurance during difficult times.

Getting involved is easy. Anyone interested can reach out to Feed Evansville directly through their Facebook page to sign up for a shift. Whether you can spare three hours or just want to learn more about the organization, they're ready to welcome you.

Small acts of service create big waves of change in communities like Evansville.
