Terre Haute Catholic Charities Foodbank - Closing the Meal Gap Campaign
Terre Haute Catholic Charities Foodbank provides the equivalent of 2.5 million meals each year to 32,000 people who are hungry in west central Indiana. But, more food is needed to feed the more than 43,000 people who don't get enough nutritious food to live a healthy lifestyle. You can help. Click here to learn more about the Closing the Meal Gap Campaign.
Thank you to all who contributed to the Terre Haute Catholic Charities Foodbank Endowment Fund at the Wabash Valley Community Foundation. We have met our requirements and will be receiving a $100,000 match from the WVCF.
If you would like to Close the Meal Gap, you may send your donation to:
THCC Foodbank Campaign, 1801 Poplar St., Terre Haute, IN 47803
Terre Haute Catholic Charities Foodbank operates as a warehouse and distribution center working with 90 member agencies and 11 mobile pantries each month. These agencies provide food directly to individuals and families in need. To find a pantry or serving site near you, check our calendar of local Food Pantries and Mobile Pantry sites, contact Lifeline by dialing 2-1-1, or search the online searchable directory created by Indiana's Emergency Food Resource Network in partnership with Purdue University.
Community Foundations Help Brighten Ryves Youth Center
The Wabash Valley Community Foundation and Catholic Community Foundation both provided funding to
clean, level, seal, and protect the floor in the basement dining room of Ryves Youth Center to help ensure both the safety of the youth clients and their families, but also to help maintain the use, function, and appearance of the flooring.
This type of flooring is used in heavily-trafficked retail outlets and facilities such as Holy Family Shelter in Indianapolis. This flooring system has been proven to hold up over time and to reduce the long-term maintenance cost and program downtime. This reduced program downtime allows us to provide uninterrupted services such as evening meals for the youth participating in our Ryves Youth Center programs.
Many thanks to both foundations for helping us create an inviting, safe, and better functioning dining room!
