Food Pantry
The Patchwork Central Emergency Food pantry has been in operation since 1982. The Patchwork Food Pantry is one of seven pantries in the Evansville Emergency Food Pantry Consortium. Clients are eligible to obtain food from the pantry every 30 days by obtaining a referral from one of several referral agencies in the city. United Way First Call for Help coordinates this system. Food for the pantry is ordered weekly from the Tri-State Food Bank. Additional donations of food and non-food items are received on a regular basis from area churches, businesses, and individuals. From September 2011 through October 2012, our food pantry served 2047 individuals from 919 households.
Donations and volunteers are always needed. Please contact the Patchwork office to donate or sign up to volunteer.
The Food Pantry is open Monday - Thursday, 9:30 am - 11:45 am. Closed on Holidays.
