Schools Donate 21,000 Pounds Of Food To Manna
November 24, 2011
Children and employees across the Escambia County School District recently collected 21,000 pounds of food through the “Help Feed Your Neighbor” program. The initiative helped replenish Manna’s shelves at a time when the pantry is experiencing unprecedented demands in service paired with a decline in donations.
“Once again our employees have gone above and beyond what is asked of them. Their donations, along with the donations of our students and parents, allowed for many of our neighbors to have food on their table during this holiday season,” said Superintendent Malcolm Thomas.
Manna operates six pantries in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, and distributed 786,092 pounds of food in the last 12 months to 38,825 people. All services are offered free of charge to those in need. In addition, Manna also operates a Gardens Program that is dedicated to helping people learn more about how to be self-sufficient in growing their own food. The Gardens Program supports 18 gardens in schools throughout Escambia County.
