MANNA Food Distribution

MANNA Food Bank is a nonprofit organization and a member of Feeding America, the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization. MANNA serves over 16 counties in Western North Carolina through a network of partnerships providing local food to residents in need. This partnership provides more than just food, it helps to provide hope and dignity to residents experiencing hunger and a temporary food shortage.

MANNA in collaboration with a network of partners is currently moving over 70,000 pounds of food each day to communities in need. MPP has a monthly food outreach to help provide bountiful food boxes to local families in need.

Since late 2019, MPP has served almost 19,000 families here in Macon County and surrounding communities, who need food, dry goods, and paper products.
