Food For Families

As our cornerstone program, Food For Families provides an average of 3,150 families approximately 50 pounds of fresh vegetables, pantry staples, breads and frozen meats each month. While in the past this was primarily distributed through pre-packed boxes, over the last few years Manna has expanded our offering of "choice" pantries and a market, where neighbors can shop at no cost for the food that meets their household needs.

 

Target Population: low income adults 18 and over

Intake/Eligibility: Self referrals, DHHS and all other social service agencies refer participants to Manna

Community Food Education

Manna’s Community Food Education Programs meets our neighbors where they are: at the market or in the kitchen. Manna strives to not only provide our participants with healthy food options but also educate participants about health management, food budgeting, and cooking skills. Manny, our mobile kitchen and pop-up pantry, is as an outreach effort to teach community members of all ages and take food to emerging locations of need. Classes are offered in person and virtually.
