IMPACT

To date, Manna has distributed approximately 283,076 meals to people in our community! 

In 2024 alone, we made 1,232 deliveries and provided more than 98,000 meals to those in need. With each delivery, we had the privilege of praying over individuals and bringing the Kingdom of God right to their doorstep.


2024 was a transformative year for Manna Ministry. We were blessed with a new facility, allowing us to deliver food and hope to more people than ever before. We saw incredible volunteers step out in faith and through their unwavering dedication, lives were transformed. Through it all, God’s faithfulness remained. As we enter 2025, we’re excited to see how God continues to move and invite you to join us!

Day by day and week by week, our efforts can seem average and ordinary. But that’s the great thing about God. He can use our seemingly ordinary actions to make a HUGE impact!

The change reflects the largest one-year increase since 2008, and the rate, which amounts to over 44 million people, or every 1 in 7, is the highest it has been since 2014. End of pandemic-era programs and waivers resulted in higher food insecurity in 2023. Virginia food banks reported 5-10% increase in demand at pantries compared to the end of 2022.
