Funding To Support The Carriage Home Apartments Meal Site
SWIRCA & More’s Nutrition Program recently
received a $30,000 grant from the Glick Fund, a fund of the Central Indiana Community Foundation. This money will be used to serve hot, nutritious lunches to people living at the Carriage House Apartments here in Evansville.
Annually, SWIRCA serves over a quarter of a million meals, 4,875 of which are served through the Carriage House Apartment meal site. The Nutrition Program’s funding was reduced by $175,000 in 2014 and then another $9,000 last year. Because of these cuts, meals are only being served four days a week. For many of these people, this is the only meal they have each day. This grant will cover the cost for the close to 5,000 meals over the next year.
