Ingles Day at the Mountain State Fair

By MANNA Foodbank

Get your cans ready for one of our favorite food drives of the year!

Thanks to our incredible hometown grocery partner of over thirty years, Ingles Markets, you can help raise thousands of pounds of food for our neighbors facing hunger, and get free entry to the Mountain State Fair on Wednesday, September 15th.

To receive free admission to the Fair, all you need to do is bring 5 cans of Laura Lynn products to the fair gates on September 15th.

While the fair was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic, MANNA received a whopping 22,273 pounds of canned food in 2019!
