PRAY.
Manna Ministry serves as a lifeline for families caught between crisis and long-term support. We fill the gap with food, encouragement, and the hope of Jesus Christ. Join our Prayer Team and receive regular updates on how you can pray specifically for the families we serve.
VOLUNTEER.
Every meal delivered is a message of hope—and it couldn’t happen without faithful volunteers. Whether you’re packing food, driving a delivery route, or simply offering a smile, your time makes an eternal difference. We have a variety of roles that fit any schedule or season of life. Serve once or serve often—every act of service matters.
DONATE.
At Manna Ministry, your gift goes twice as far. Thanks to our generous partners, every $1 becomes $2 in food and resources for families in crisis. We welcome monetary donations to meet urgent needs and food donations through our Adopt-a-Shelf program to keep our shelves stocked year-round. Your support fills pantries and reminds families they are seen, cared for, and loved.
Help us help our community, one meal at a time…
-
Manna Ministry exists to share the love of Jesus in both word and deed. When families in our community face sudden crisis, there is often a gap before they can receive long-term help. We step into that gap—providing food, prayer, and encouragement—because Jesus calls us to care for the hungry, the hurting, and the hopeless. Our desire is not only to meet physical needs, but to point every person to the hope, peace, and salvation found in Him.
-
Serving with Manna Ministry is an opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Every bag of food, every prayer offered, and every smile shared is a way to reflect His love to those in need. Jesus tells us that when we serve “the least of these,” we are serving Him. By volunteering, you join a community of believers living out the Gospel—bringing hope, meeting practical needs, and pointing people toward the eternal hope found only in Christ
-
Manna Ministry serves individuals and families in our community who are facing sudden crisis and need immediate help. We welcome anyone in need—regardless of background, circumstance, or belief—because Jesus calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves. From single parents struggling to put food on the table, to seniors on fixed incomes, to families waiting for long-term assistance, we meet people where they are with food, prayer, and the hope of the Gospel.
