Located in Evansville, Indiana, the Tri-State Food Bank continues its quest to deliver safe food to hundreds of charities and sites serving thousands of local women, men and children in the tri-state. Thanks to the support of our donors and volunteers, we are delivering not only life supporting provisions to needy people, we are delivering opportunities for a healthier more productive life. The compassion and actions of our community is making a difference to the family on the edge of poverty; to the elderly citizens with an inadequate fixed income, and to the homeless persons with hope for a better future.

Please take the time to browse our website to learn more about us and about how you can help.
