31,000 pounds of food for Manna Cafe
The 15th annual Combat Hunger campaign mobilized more than 100 volunteers across 40 business locations and 12 grocery stores throughout Montgomery and Stewart Counties. Participants collected nonperishable food items to help stock Manna Cafe’s warehouse in preparation for the winter months, when the need for food assistance traditionally increases.
This year’s donations totaled more than 31,000 pounds of food, which is a 48% increase over last year’s 21,000 pounds.
The donations collected through Combat Hunger will support Manna Cafe’s mission to serve individuals and families in Montgomery and Stewart Counties through its food pantry, mobile food distribution programs, and meal services.
