(Evansville, IN) April 22, 2020 -- SIGMA Equipment, in Evansville, Indiana, announced today they have partnered with the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation (EVSC) meal logistics team to help distribute meals to students in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
SIGMA donated a non-electric accordion conveyor to help with the increase of students in need of meals. EVSC has partnered with the AmeriQual Group by purchasing 12,000 meal kits for local students. These meal kits provide two weeks worth of breakfasts and lunches for children under 18. EVSC is also including a gallon and a half of milk with each meal kit. Meals will be available for pickup from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the school sites and various times at the satellite sites.

“It is important to come together as a community, especially during these challenging times,” says Rob Palmer, owner of SIGMA. “We are proud to play a part in EVSC’s meal donation program and always try to help our community when the need arises.”
The wide selection of conveyors SIGMA offers increases efficiency and makes production a seamless process. This conveyor line will help EVSC with meal kit distribution and allow them to keep up with the demand of students who are in need of food.
SIGMA Equipment, a designated Critical Infrastructure Supplier, remains open and operating during these unprecedented times. They are continuing to help, not only the manufacturing, packaging, and processing industries, but also the Evansville community.
