The Manna Gala
We cannot say thank you enough to everyone who supported the Manna Food Project's Food 4 Kids program at our inaugural gala event! We want to thank all our event sponsors, our live auction donors, the best volunteers and board members in the world, and our unbelievably generous community for making such a huge impact in the fight against hunger.
A massive thank you to the Doll-Loesel Foundation for an incredible $100,000 matching donation for our backpack program. The wonderful gala attendees came out strong and exceeded the match by raising another $115,000! This funding secures the longevity of this program and will provide fresh fruit, whole grain alternatives, and nutrition education materials for the pre-k and elementary students that receive backpacks.
We believe everyone deserves access to nutritious food and we are beyond grateful to our community for making it possible to provide not only a larger quantity of these vital food bags, but a higher quality of food for children in our community.
