Donate To Manna During Doughnut Strike

June 27, 2019

The Pensacola Police Department, Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and Pensacola Fire Department (PFD) are on strike against their beloved doughnuts through Friday support Manna. During the doughnut strike, first responders have vowed not to devour a single doughnut until 20,000 pounds of food has been donated to fight hunger in the local area — the equivalent of 26,600 meals.

    Please donate healthy items that have vegetables and protein. The children do not need to be eating junk food and sugar loaded items. If you can afford it you should donate ! It feels good to know my donation is actually going to people who need it.
