The Salvation Army’s annual War on Hunger campaign begins Friday, April 4th at local Schnucks locations. The long-time partnership with Schnucks has been critical to resupply Salvation Army shelves for the demanding summer months.
Last year, The Salvation Army provided over 155,000 meals to residents of Vanderburgh, Warrick, and Posey counties, continuing to feed the public through times of uncertainty for the food supply chain in the summer and fall of 2024. The Salvation Army needs the community’s help to continue to serve those who are hungry. With the support from Schnucks and their generous customers the fight against hunger will continue through 2025.
“The Salvation Army is thrilled to partner with Schnucks grocery stores in our annual War on Hunger Campaign,” said Captain Brandon Lewis with The Salvation Army. “Together, we are committed to ensuring families in need have access to nutritious meals. Every donation, big or small, makes a meaningful difference in our local communities. Let’s work together to make a lasting impact and spread kindness in our communities all year long.”
On April 4th and 5th from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. volunteers will be present at six participating Schnucks locations passing out lists of the most needed items for families in The Salvation Army’s food programs. There will be opportunities to donate both in-kind food and monetary gifts to feed families facing food insecurity in our community. Schnucks Locations:
• Lawndale – 5000 Washington Ave, Evansville, IN 47715
• Newburgh – 8301 Bell Oaks Dr, Newburgh, IN 47630
• Lynch Rd – 3501 N Green River Rd, Evansville, IN 47715

• West Side – 4500 W Lloyd Expressway, Evansville, IN 47712

The Salvation Army food programs are a vital resource to many in the community to maintain stability in times of crisis, or for those who lack a support system of friends and family. Food programs operate weekly and are available to anyone in need across Vanderburgh, Warrick, and Posey counties. If you know someone who is struggling, or who needs financial relief, consider visiting The Salvation Army for help.
