• Resource Center: Manna's Resource Center has operated since March 2022, and launched this holistic model following over 35 years of operating as a traditional soup kitchen. Manna's Resource Center operates as a navigation hub, reducing barriers to assistance and addressing the root causes of food insecurity by offering comprehensive supportive services and food access in one place. Resource Center Navigators provide case management, service navigation, housing assistance, job development, transportation assistance, ID assistance, peer support, and positive encouragement to help program participants overcome social determinants of health barriers and help them become self-sufficient. Manna hosts partner organizations to offer additional onsite services, expanding the range of needs that can be addressed within its facility. While services are available to anyone in the community, Manna primarily supports low-income households, individuals experiencing housing, food, or employment insecurity, including individuals experiencing homelessness, people with disabilities, Latin-x families, Indigenous community members, justice-involved people, students, and seniors. Case Management is available in English and Spanish, overcoming language barriers and supporting an inclusive environment. In 2025, this program connected 1,905 participants with supportive services.
