According to United Way, 12 percent of families in Northwest Michigan live at or below the poverty line. Manna Food Project (Manna) aims to address this issue by helping to feed the hungry in Antrim, Charlevoix, and Emmet Counties. Manna is a partner organization for the national Feeding America Food Bank Network and operates a food distribution center, food rescue program, weekly food pantry, and the “Food 4 Kids” backpack program. Our eight staff members and over 250 dedicated volunteers work hard every day—all passionate about our mission to provide wholesome, nutritious foods to those among us who need it most.
Food pantries are uniquely situated to positively influence the eating habits of our clients—many of whom are affected by diet-related illness like obesity and diabetes. To improve the quality and nutritional value of the food we provide our 24 partner pantries, Manna recently launched and is seeking support for the “Produce for People” initiative. Through this program, Manna purchases farm- fresh produce at or below wholesale prices—all from local growers—and distributes the fruits and vegetables free-of-charge throughout our tri-county area. We are thankful for this opportunity to help those in need and are determined to see the program grow.
