Our annual Manna Jam event is coming up Saturday, Nov. 30th!
This is a great way to get back on the skis/board and give back to your community.
Any bit of help is welcome and these stats can help put things into perspective
· $5 can provide 62 meals (we base this on 0.08 cents/lb of food and 1lb of food is a meal served)
· Feeding America’s semi- truck delivers up to 32,000 pounds of food to the warehouse weekly (we purchase this food)
$10 = 125 meals!
· We serve 35+ agencies (ex: pantries, soup kitchens) in Antrim, Charlevoix and Emmet counties through the food bank
· We deliver 1200 bags of food every week to schools in Emmet, Antrim and Charlevoix county for children through the “Food 4 Kids” Backpack program
· 2011- 2012 school year we delivered 35,326 bags of food to schools
You can see that every bit goes to helping local food pantries and feeding families for the holiday season
