The Salvation Army - Evansville

Daily meals are prepared and served Monday-Friday (Observes Federal Holidays)

These meals are served between 11-1:00p (Volunteers are asked to arrive by 10:45 and stay until 1:15 to help with cleanup)

These meals are available to whosoever and seconds are available at any time. To-go trays are served and available for the last 10 minutes of the serving time (12:50-1:00 PM). On average 200-300 meals are served every day. This is quite the undertaking and approximately 10 volunteers are needed to facilitate this program for the homeless, fixed-income, and working poor. Additionally, this program is important as we are the closest food source for a majority of the west side of Evansville. Volunteers are needed in the serving area (Gym) to perform the following tasks

•  Drink Station
  • As guests enter the serving area, a volunteer is needed to pre-fill drink cups with tea, water, and coffee. In addition, this volunteer will help guests with creamer, sugar, or other needs related to drinks for the meal.
• Tables and Trash
  • As guests finish their meals, a volunteer is needed to clean the tables with cleaner and remove any spills to allow for future guests to be seated.
  • In addition, this same volunteer will empty and replace the trash bag before the cans become too full.
• Clear off trays
  • As guests finish their meal a volunteer is needed to scrap off leftovers into the trash and collect the soiled trays. Once enough soiled trays are collected they are taken in batches to the kitchen to be washed.
