SVdP Executive Director Vicki Eichmiller (middle) receives the grant award with two City of Evansville Endowment Fund Board Members.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul – Evansville is pleased to announce we were selected as a grant recipient from the City of Evansville Endowment Fund. The grant amount of $16,800 will be used to assist in creating more adequate parking surrounding the SVdP Food Pantry located on the corner of Lafayette Avenue & Governor Street.
This project will enhance the usefulness of the currently poor condition of the two lots located in the “Promise Zone,” and provide a long term solution to an otherwise deteriorating location. Converting the two empty lots on Governor Street to a parking area will provide volunteers and those we serve a more safe and convenient place to park their vehicles while at the pantry.
The Food Pantry provides food to approximately 2,569 individuals in 1,141 families each month.
