As part of our efforts to keep residents safe and healthy, the Reopen Evansville Task Force is donating 4,000 cloth masks to Feed Evansville, which has become an integral effort during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Masks will be distributed during Feed Evansville’s “Farmers to Families†community food box pickup on Mondays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Hartke Pool.
As our community continues to reopen, we’re committed to providing much-needed resources to our residents,” said Deputy Mayor Steve Schaefer. “I am extremely proud of Lisa Vaughn and Alex Burton for their efforts to coordinate Feed Evansville and help coordinate the many food resources in our area.â€
The Reopen Evansville Task Force has also secured a refrigerated truck, as Feed Evansville will be distributing 3,000 meal boxes per week through the “Farmers to Families†program until the end of August. The truck will be immediately put into operation for mobile food distributions.
“We’re constantly evaluating ways to get food out to those who need it most,” said Feed Evansville organizer Lisa Vaughn. “This truck will make our efforts a lot more efficient and help us reach more families.”
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Reopen Evansville Task Force has been working closely with the Feed Evansville initiative to mobilize resources and source food donations.
