The Manna Food Project understands that fresh foods can often be the first thing to go when someone is on a tight budget. Fruits and veggies are so important for a healthy diet, which is why Manna strives to make sure everyone has access to fresh foods. This is why Manna covers 100% of the cost of produce for all of our partner pantries, meal sites, and other hunger relief partners.

"Manna fills in the gaps on the food for the household and makes sure the children are getting nutritious meals when money is tight." - Pantry Guest

It's the best time of the year! Manna is gearing up for lots of farm fresh produce this growing season. These pretty veggies came from Golden Stock Farms in Mears. Thanks to the Michigan Agricultural Surplus System, this asparagus was free to Manna and all of our distribution partners.

Tell us your favorite way to make asparagus!
