Every night in Evansville, Indiana, hundreds of individuals, including children, experience homelessness. The House of Bread and Peace provides emergency shelter for single women and women with children, offering a safe, homelike environment where they can heal and rebuild their lives.

Since 1985, the House has served the Evansville community by providing 23 emergency shelter beds, meeting basic needs, and supporting women on their journey toward independence and self-sufficiency.

In 2024, the House became a program of ECHO Housing and Community Development, ensuring its continued operation and impact. This partnership upholds the legacy of Sister Joanna Trainer, whose mission was to provide a warm bed, hot meals, and a fresh start for women and children in need.

If you or someone you know needs emergency shelter in Evansville, or if you want to support our mission, contact us today. Together, we can break the cycle of homelessness and bring hope to those in need.
