Manna Food Project (Manna), a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, helps feed the hungry in Antrim, Charlevoix, and Emmet Counties. Led by the Board of Directors, hundreds of volunteers, and eight staff members, we work together to fulfil this mission. Manna’s main programs are operation of a food bank (distribution center), a food rescue program, a weekly food pantry, and the “Food 4 Kids” backpack program. Manna also partners with the health department and local businesses to organize cooking classes, community dinners, and other events highlighting the importance of healthy, fresh food. Manna is a partner organization of the national Feeding America Food Bank Network.

Thank you to our incredible community for supporting our 31st annual Empty Bowls fundraiser! This year, 225 lunch guests raised over $9,000 to help our food insecure neighbors. We could not do this fundraiser without the generosity of our local potters and sponsors. Thank you all for pouring so much love back into our community, bowl by bowl.
Join us in the fight against hunger. With your help, we can do so much more.
