This year, the Manna Food Project has been hosting new mobile food pantries at income-based and senior housing facilities. The Rotary Club of Little Traverse Bay Sunset has generously sponsored and volunteered at these mobiles, but today is their last pantry. Can you help us keep the mobile food pantry program going?

We know we have to continue these mobile pantries. The amount of home-bound individuals that are unable to make it to a conventional food pantry has been overwhelming. Transportation is a big barrier for a lot of the people we serve at these mobile pantries. Another challenge for senior citizens or those with disabilities is being able to get the food back to their apartment. For the majority of people, volunteers end up carrying the food home for them.

This is why Manna has decided to not only continue the mobile pantries at these apartments, but to turn them into a scheduled delivery service, bringing the food right to their door.

By utilizing volunteer groups, Manna will be able to begin a new scheduled food delivery service to Traverse Woods Apartments, Maple Village, and Harbor Village. The food delivered will include a wide variety of dry and canned goods, farm fresh produce, high-quality protein, and dairy products. This food is meant to supplement their existing groceries to keep households well-fed for a month.

The outpouring of gratitude from the individuals we serve at these apartments has affirmed the immense need for food assistance. In order to continue food services at these apartments, and ensure that nearly 200 households continue to have access to food, we need to raise $9,600 to cover the cost of food for the rest of the year.

Your support of this new scheduled delivery system can ensure that the most vulnerable in our community have consistent access to food. When you give to the Manna Food Pantry's Delivery Program, you are providing nutritious food and peace of mind for people who are really struggling to keep food on the table.

Together, we can make a difference.
