Manna Bags
Manna Bags are more than just bags; they are bundles of love, compassion, and essential resources for those in need. Packed with hand warmers, nutritious snacks, personal hygiene items, and other essentials, Manna Bags serve as a lifeline for homeless individuals, offering comfort and hope during their most challenging times.
Manna is a term that originally comes from the Bible and refers to a mysterious and miraculous food that was provided by God to the Israelites during their journey in the wilderness. According to the biblical account in the Book of Exodus, manna was described as a sweet, bread-like substance that appeared on the ground each morning, providing sustenance for the Israelites when they had no other food sources. It was seen as a divine gift, sustaining them during their difficult journey.
In a modern context, the term “manna” is often used symbolically to represent unexpected or life-sustaining provisions, or simply as a reference to food in a more general sense.
We encourage you to pick up a Manna Bag to keep in your car so you are ready to help when the opportunity arises. Baskets can be found by the Welcome Center at the East Entrance.
