🩷 We're fighting hunger and supporting Cancer Awareness this October for !

Proceeds from MANNA's Pan Seared Salmon w/ White Peach Compote & Quinoa 🍊 prepared meals sold at Greater Good Grocery will go towards Breast Cancer Awareness all this month (keep an eye out for meals with the pink sticker)!

🫶 Good for you meals that do good! According to the American Institute for Cancer Research & the Prevent Cancer Foundation Salmon ranks high among fish with the most omega-3 fatty acids, a heart healthy fat. Omega-3s are also being studied for their potential to prevent breast cancer. While healthy grains like quinoa contain phytonutrients, or antioxidants, that protect your body from diseases and may reduce your risk of developing cancer.

Help yourself to a great meal, while you help feed the community & fight cancer this month!

🍗 🌽 Hundreds of hearty chicken dinners are ready to head out the door of the MANNA Kitchen and hit the shelves of local food pantries today!

MANNA is doing our part this to help keep good food from going to waste. All the fresh corn & green beans for this batch of meals was picked up as surplus recovered food from CHOW's Broome Bounty program this week. MANNA was able to immediately turn these excess donations from CHOW's local retail partners into delicious heat & eat meals ready to be distributed for free at food pantries all over Broome County.

♻️ Fresh produce that was in danger of spoiling and going to waste is now nourishing members of our community that struggle to prepare healthy meals for themselves!

MANNA is proud to work with all our partners to make sure surplus food goes to local families, and not the landfill!
