Your Help is Needed... How to Donate Food
www.MannaFood.org
Sponsoring a food drive at your office, church or synagogue, civic group, school, club, or neighborhood association is another great way to feed the hungry in Montgomery County. You can drop your food off at Manna Food Center Monday through Friday from 8am to 4pm. If it's a large amount (more than will fit in a minivan), call us and we may be able to arrange for one of our trucks to pick it up.

Making a Financial Contribution
Manna Food Center, a non-profit organization, counts on the financial support of the community.
- For every donated dollar, $.94 goes directly to feeding the hungry of Montgomery County.
- A $25 contribution provides a family of four with five days of emergency food.
- A $75 gift funds trucks and drivers so that they can collect 4,000 pounds of edible, nutritious food from local grocery stores, food that instead of being tossed in a dumpster will feed 50 families.
- A $150 donation allows Manna to deliver bread to 25 low-income communities.
Consider making a donation in the name of some, as a gift or memorial.
