Manna For Malawi


The fifth annual Manna For Malawi was a great success. Approximately $44,000 was raised. These  funds will be used to purchase a truck for the farm in Malawi, for education for high school students, and food for the children. Pastor Paul announced on Sunday, July 14th that $40,898 will be wired to Malawi. Of that money $30,000 will be used for the truck, $5,898 will be used for education, and $5,000 will be used for food.




The event featured the Johnny Holm Band which was very popular. Despite the rain fans stayed and listened to the music and danced. Everyone was enjoying the music.

Thank you to Maucieri's Italian Bistro for the meal and to Mixed Company A Kava House for the beverages. A special thank you to The Woodtick Inn for hosting this event.

Mark your calendars now for Manna For Malawi 2020 which will be held Sunday, June 28th and will feature the Johnny Holm Band.
