Manna Food Pantry Floods, Needs Your Help To Recover
June 13, 2012
Manna Food Pantry suffered significant damage Saturday during flooding that occurred in downtown Pensacola. The food pantry’s entire lower warehouse, including all offices and client service areas, was flooded.
Due to concerns for the health and safety of Manna staff, volunteers, and clients, the Manna offices will be relocated to the larger warehouse until the debris is removed and the area is cleaned and sanitized. Until further notice, Manna will offer services Monday through Friday from 2:00 until 4:30 p.m. at First United Methodist Church’s “The Perry Home” located at the corner of Palafox and Wright Streets in downtown Pensacola.
Manna is currently in need of cash donations to support their flood recovery efforts. The initial estimated cost of damage is $50,000.
Donations can be made on the Manna website at www.mannafoodpantries.org.

I second that Jane and I will take in my donation. Surely there are a lot of
people out there that can donate their coffee money for the week or something.
Let’s all do without something and make sure manna is cleaned up for the
good of our community and the fight against American Children who are
hungry.
I don’t know how many people know that 1 in 5 children RIGHT HERE IN
AMERICA don’t have enough to eat.
Manna Food Pantry feeds so many who really need it, please support them in any way you can. There are families who would not have enough to eat without this service, and this includes children and seniors.
