Evansville Rescue Mission Preparing Food Baskets For 1,700 Tri-State Families

NOVEMBER 19TH, 2018 AMANDA PORTER INDIANA

The Evansville Rescue Mission is filling up the Old National Events Plaza with everything needed for a Thanksgiving meal.

Over 1,700 Tri-State families will be receiving food baskets filled with turkey, macaroni, green beans, stuffing mix, and more.

After a chapel service, a food assembly line will run several times throughout the day to help Tri-State families celebrate the holiday with a full table.

“Families will be walking away with 40 to 50 items worth of food in a makeshift box donated by Vincennes’ Packaging Corporation of America,” says Evansville Rescue Mission vice president of development Chris-Michael Morrison.

“40 plus schools have donated their time and collection efforts as well as churches, businesses, and it’s just to be a testament of how generous and how giving our Tri-State is.”

Donations of stuffing mix and 14 ounces of canned yams are still needed, as well as infant coats and accessories for the Coats For Kiddo’s Drive.

The Rescue Mission is accepting donations until 8 p.m. tonight.
