What Is a Food Bank?
A food bank is different from a food pantry – rather than handing out free food directly to those in need, MANNA delivers bulk food to 300+ partner food pantries, meal sites, and schools. As a distribution hub for the WNC charitable food system, over 95% of the food we serve goes through our partners.
Our Story Uniting Us for Something Bigger
At MANNA FoodBank, our mission is to involve, educate, and unite people in the work to end hunger in Western North Carolina. We believe that lasting change begins when communities come together with purpose and compassion.
Let’s build a future where there is “Food for All” in WNC.
