Longest Table 2025 by Feed Evansville

The Longest Table, presented by Feed Evansville, is coming to downtown Evansville, IN! The goal of this FREE dinner event is to build a stronger sense of community by fostering new relationships and creating meaningful connections. Together, we will celebrate the spirit of unity and fellowship while strengthening the bonds that make our city truly special. This is a FREE event, but we ask you register so we can accurately prepare.

Why are we planning a Longest Table Event?

Food is Love. This kind of event doesn’t just feed people—it nourishes relationships, confidence, and a sense of belonging. When neighbors gather around a common table, barriers of income, background, and belief begin to fade. These shared experiences build confidence in reaching out, sparking new conversations, and lay the foundation for a more unified community. Food, in this way, becomes more than sustenance—it becomes a symbol of love, welcome, and possibility.

Why does Evansville need a Longest Table Event?

Evansville, like other towns and cities across the nation, faces issues that divide rather than unite. According to the USDA, 40% of the Neighborhoods in the Evansville area are Food Deserts and 20% of our residents are dealing with Food Insecurity. The act of gathering isn’t just social; it’s transformational. It reminds us that beneath our differences, we all seek connection, dignity, and a sense of belonging.
