Two weeks. That’s it.

In two weeks, we’re aiming to pack 200 Manna Meals with our community. So the question is simple: Are you in or are you out?

Grab your ticket to our Fall Manna Meal Packing Event! Bring your 12 ingredients, and come pack with us on September 13.

200 meals. One community. Let’s do this.

Hi! Want a fun thing to do this weekend? Pack 5 Manna Meals! Here’s how it works:

1. Pick a recipe : 🐓chicken pot pie, 🌮taco soup, 🫘creole white bean, 🍚 jambalaya, 🥧 Shephard’s pie, or 🍝 pasta bake.
2. We will send you the recipe card to gather the ingredients.
3. Pack them up.
4. Deliver to one of our drop off locations in Denham Springs or Central.

If you’re in, drop the meal you’re making and text 225-308-1538, and our Whole Heart Health get you the recipe!

We are so grateful for the coverage this mission has gotten. We hope more than anything it inspires you to love on your neighbor and realize that a little bit goes a long way!

Fall Manna Meal Packing We have a date! Our Fall Manna Meal Packing Workshop is September 13th, and if you’ve ever been to one of these, you know just how much fun they are. We can’t wait to get together with you and our community to pack meals that will make their way into our Whole Heart Pantries and Manna Meal program.

Here’s the deal: your ticket is your ingredient!

When you sign up, you’ll choose one ingredient. Then you bring 12 of that ingredient to the event.

🥫 Sign up for chicken → bring 12 cans of chicken
🥫 Sign up for beans → bring 12 cans of beans
…and so on!

This one is best for junior high students and older + adults. There won’t be a lot of kid activities at this packing, but don’t worry, we have a family-friendly packing event coming up, and we’ll have plenty of treats at this one!

We could not do this work without the support of our incredible business sponsors, including Kaizen Coworking & Event Space and Excolo Medicine in Denham Springs. We are so grateful for businesses that believe in loving our community well.

Grab your ticket at the link in bio, choose your ingredient, and mark your calendar for September 13th! We’re counting on your ingredient, and we can’t wait to see you there! ❤️

The boxes at Broadmoor United Methodist Church, brought to you by Red Stick Together, have been stocked with all kinds of goodies!

We’re paying attention to what y’all love, what you don’t, what’s moving and what’s not, and stocking accordingly. Each of our boxes hits our route at least once a week, and we’re constantly shifting things around to make sure we’re meeting our neighbors where they are and loving them well. ❤️

Want to check out all of our boxes or support this mission?

This is our Top Shelf Box. These are the items that typically get grabbed by our smallest human hands, a school snack, an after-sports snack, or just something quick to grab and go in some of our neighborhoods.

We call them “Top Shelf” because they aren’t complete meals, but they’re the little extras that can make a big difference. Think beef jerky, pop-top raviolis, granola bars, fruit snacks, and everything in between.

And right now… our box is looking pretty empty. Want to help us fill it? You can shop our Top Shelf Amazon Wish List right here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/FVC7860OTGSF?ref_=wl_share

It’s a small way to help that makes a huge difference for the kids and families who use our pantries.

Thank you for helping us keep the shelves full!

32. 32 Manna Meals. 32 dinners with dignity.

Today at Ultimate Tailgate hosted by Sweet Baton Rouge®️ was so good! Between food donations and cash donations we collected enough for 32 Manna Meals and free nutrition support for 200 adolescents!

Thank you so much for welcoming us to the fun today. The jambalaya was delish, I wish we could have voted for everyone to get a trophy. The vendors were amazing and had so much goodness. The humans were top notch. No one tailgates like Louisiana and no one brings us all together better than the Sweet Baton Rouge. Things are definitely Better In BTR.
