CLARKSVILLE, Tenn (CLARKSVILLENOW) – In light of COVID-19 concerns, Manna Cafe Ministries has announced several changes to their services.

“After praying and speaking with our staff and executive Board members this morning, we’re committed to continuing our services while also keeping our clients, staff and volunteers safe,” said Director Kenny York. Our goal is to honor current guidelines while also remembering that many people have lost part or all of their income and deed even more access to food, hygiene items and so on.

Until further notice:

  • Food distribution will continue on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10-4. Clients will be accepted into the lobby 10 people at a time to limit interaction.
  • Hot meals will continue on Tuesday and Thursday evenings as well as Saturday mornings in the usual locations but will be distributed as to-go boxes only. In addition, Manna Cafe will add a Wednesday and Thursday evening hot meal at the Refuge Center (503 D. Street) in the Manna Village.
  • The free clinic on Thursdays will shift to every other Tuesday.
  • All other programs such as Change for Change and Operation Pomegranate are temporarily on hold.
