MANNA

The year was 1981. At the time, there were many unmet needs in the community. The government and other local agencies were simply not able to respond to needs for food, housing and other emergencies. Under the leadership of Reverend John Touchberry of St. John's United Church of Christ, local churches and caring individuals from the community came together. Out of that gathering, Manna was born. For the first two years, operations took place from the basement of the church. When the building next door was donated by a parishioner, Manna on Main Street came to life... Manna on Main Street is committed to ending hunger in the North Penn region by providing food, fulfilling social service and education needs, and conducting community outreach. Through a food pantry and soup kitchen, emergency financial aid, counseling and referrals, and education opportunities, we serve those in need with the hope "that everyone might be fed."... In August 2023, we purchased a 3,300-square-foot property..
