MISSION GROUNDS COFFEE SHOP

LOOK FOR THE STOREFRONT ENTRANCE

What's on The Menu?

Obviously, there is coffee, but it's not just coffee at Mission Grounds. They will feature lattes, teas, and yummy baked goods like their signature little bundt cakes. The pastries and baked goodies are all baked fresh daily. We'll take a closer look at the menu in a bit, but first, let's go on a tour with Tracy L. Gorman, he is the President / CEO of all things Evansville Rescue Mission.

10 Services Your Evansville Rescue Mission Provides

Your Evansville Rescue Mission is so much more than a men's homeless shelter. They provide a lot of services to give a hand up, not a handout. ERM has been serving Evansville, Indiana for over 100 years, thanks to volunteers.

Then & Now - Evansville's Washington Square Mall Through the Years

Evansville is home to a lot of unique buildings including the first enclosed retail shopping center in Indiana. Yes, our very own Washington Square Mall was the place to be when it opened in 1963. If you walk through the mall today, you would never guess how alive the shops were, even through the 1980s. Enjoy this walk down memory lane I've put together, and maybe someday there will be new life inside 5011 Washington Ave.
