❤️ THANK YOU FOR A GREAT NIGHT OF BINGO! ❤️

What a fun night! MANNA would like to send a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to Back Forty last night to play Bingo and support MANNA! Your participation, generosity, and continued support help us provide more than a meal to elderly, homebound, and special-needs members of our community.

I am especially grateful to everyone that helped make the evening run smoothly. From calling Bingo and selling cards to raffle tickets and everything in between, I truly could not have done it without you!

A very special thank you to Lee and Dana Johnson, owners of Sinful Sweets, for their generous donation of a scrumptious caramel cake and treat tokens for our raffle—and for coming out to spend the evening with us! We appreciate your continued support of MANNA and our mission. ❤️

And, of course, thank you to Back Forty for hosting us and giving our community a place to come together, have some fun, and support a great cause.

To everyone who played, donated, volunteered, shared our posts, bought raffle tickets, or simply showed up to support MANNA:

THANK YOU!

Every meal we deliver is made possible because people in our community continue to show up for their neighbors.

More than a meal. ❤️

❤️ MANNA DESPERATELY NEEDS VOLUNTEERS! ❤️

For many years, MANNA has been blessed with an incredible group of volunteers who have faithfully delivered meals to elderly, disabled, and homebound members of our community. Many of those wonderful volunteers have served us for years, and as life and health circumstances change, we urgently need new volunteers to help carry our mission forward.

Volunteering with MANNA doesn't require a huge commitment. Whether you can deliver once a week, once a month, as an occasional substitute, or simply help when your schedule allows, we need you!

🚗 Pick up meals and deliver a local route
❤️ Provide a friendly face and a few minutes of kindness
🏠 Help a homebound neighbor remain independent in their own home

Sometimes delivering a meal means much more than providing food. For some of our recipients, your visit may be one of the only personal interactions they have that day.

Right now, we are struggling to keep our routes covered, and we truly need our community's help.

Individuals, retirees, churches, businesses, civic groups, college students and anyone with a heart for helping others—we would LOVE to hear from you.

If you can help, please contact MANNA at 256-543-5876 or send us a Facebook message. Even if you can't volunteer yourself, please share this post. The person we desperately need may be someone on your friends list.

Our volunteers are the heart of MANNA, and we need some new hearts to join us. ❤️

🚨 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TODAY! 🚨

MANNA is a little short on helping hands this morning, and we need a few volunteers to help deliver meals to our homebound neighbors TODAY!

If you have a little time to spare and can help us cover a delivery route, we would be incredibly grateful! ❤️

Routes are local, and your time makes a HUGE difference—not only to MANNA, but to the people waiting for a meal and a friendly face at their door.

Please call the MANNA office 256-543-5867 or send us a message ASAP if you can help today!

Even one person taking one route helps tremendously. ❤️

Please share! Someone on your friends list may have a little free time this morning and be exactly the person we need. Meals are picked up from Riverview Regional Medical Center between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m.

Thank you, Etowah County, for always showing up when we need you! ❤️

We were so proud to have one of our wonderful MANNA volunteers, Chuck, share his experience at the United Way of Etowah County Campaign Kickoff yesterday! ❤️

Our volunteers are truly the heart of MANNA. Every weekday, they give their time to deliver more than a meal—they bring a friendly face, a caring heart, and a connection to our homebound neighbors throughout Etowah County.

Chuck did an amazing job sharing what it means to serve our community, and we are so grateful to him and to each of our volunteers who make MANNA's mission possible every day.

Thank you, United Way, for giving Chuck the opportunity to share our story and for your continued support of MANNA! ❤️

💜 THANK YOU! 🏍️💜

My heart is so full of gratitude after Saturday's 2nd Annual Wheels for Meals Ride-In.

While the turnout wasn't what we had hoped for, the generosity, laughter, and love shown to MANNA reminded me once again why our community is so special.

First and foremost, I want to thank my family at Drifters HDRC. You welcomed MANNA with open arms, worked tirelessly before, during, and after the event, covered the cost of the food, and even donated every dollar from the tip jars. I truly could not have pulled this event off without you. After nearly 25 years of knowing many of you, you're more than supporters—you are family.

To every business, individual, and organization that donated raffle prizes, gift certificates, merchandise, services, or financial contributions...thank you. Every donation represented someone believing in our mission of keeping our elderly and homebound neighbors nourished and independent.

Thank you to everyone who bought raffle tickets, made donations, volunteered your time, helped set up and clean up, grilled, served food, and simply came out to support MANNA. You made the day fun, memorable, and full of smiles. (I don't think any of us will ever forget the haunted doll making its way onto the back of a motorcycle! 😂)

A special thank you goes to the neighboring club members who couldn't stay but still stopped by to support us with generous donations. Acts of kindness like that mean more than you know.

Because of all of you, MANNA raised $963 that will go directly toward providing nutritious meals to elderly and disabled residents throughout Etowah County.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in our mission and helping us care for our neighbors.

We are incredibly blessed, and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year!

With gratitude,

Laura Martin
Executive Director, MANNA
