MANNA Community Pantry
Our pantry is a full service shopping model food pantry, allowing clients to choose food that will suit their families’ needs and tastes, minimizing food waste and maximizing nutritional value. Groceries include non-perishable staples, along with bread, milk, eggs, fresh produce and frozen meat. Non-perishable food is shelved according to the SWAP (Supporting Wellness At Pantries) system, identifying foods that are higher/lower in salt, sugar and saturated fat. Our pantry is also halal friendly, offering halal meat and labeling non-perishable foods that are not halal.
