Welcome to Manna Food Pantry!

It is our goal to provide supplemental food assistance to your household in a caring and respectful manner. Please let us know if you have any suggestions for improvement in our service to you.

We are open three Thursdays a month, offering food that we obtain through donations. The following information and rules have been created to help us continue to operate as consistently and efficiently as possible.

When you visit, you will be assigned a Shopping Assistant who will take you (with a cart) around the Fellowship Hall so you can choose what items you will be able to use.

OUR GOAL

To provide supplemental food assistance to postal codes 17103, 17104, and 17109 in a caring and respectful manner.
