Manna Food Pantries Offering Limited Service Once Again

July 29, 2014

Manna Food Pantries’ main facility is partially restocked and the grassroots organization is once again  providing emergency food on a limited basis. The food pantry had lost all of its food back in the recent flooding.

Manna staff will be helping people with appointments in temporary trailers set up in Manna’s parking lot. However, the staff and board of directors are actively looking for a new permanent home away from the flood-prone area.

  • The Main Pantry re-opened Monday. Because of Manna’s limited capacity to store good, distribute food and see clients, the organization is now scheduling appointments. To schedule an appointment, call (8500 432-2053 Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
  • The Cantonment, Milton and Jay pantries have resumed limited service on a first come, first serve basis. Appointment not necessary.
  • All clients must present a picture I.D. and social security card for adults in the family, and social security card, birth certificates or shot records for children under 18.
  • Manna is no longer providing USDA food, which is what the organization distributed if people did not have a picture I.D. and Social Security card.

Last year, Manna Food Pantries distributed 800,000 pounds of food to the hungry, serving more than 42,000 people. The non-profit has been serving the community since 1983.
