Manna Food Center

Manna Food Center fights hunger in Montgomery County primarily by collecting and distributing 3 million pounds of food each year to needy individuals and families. Manna provides a three to five-day supply of perishable and nonperishable food to each individual or family at one of thirteen distribution points in the County. Manna also distributes food to Montgomery County homeless shelters, soup kitchens, group homes, and low-income housing areas. Through Smart Sacks, Manna also distributes backpacks full of kid-friendly food to needy elementary school children so they food on the weekends when there are no school meals.

CTS supports Manna with a monthly offering of fresh fruits and vegetables through our First Sunday Fresh Pantry campaign.
