Silver Spring Outreach Office As we adapt to changing County demographics and in order to be closer to many families we serve, Manna has opened an outreach office on University Blvd in Silver Spring. Thanks to long­term Smart Sacks partner, Silver Spring United Methodist Church (SSUMC), we will be joining other nonprofits in the church's new mission site at Four Corners. Manna will be partnering to expand SSUMC’s hunger ministry with the opening of our second choice pantry this fall.

Breaking Bread Initiative One of our planned uses for the SSUMC office is to host more gatherings of our Breaking Bread initiative. Generously supported by the Samuel & Harriet Miller Fund, Manna’s Breaking Bread events use the power of food as a connector to bring diverse groups of community members together to explore new solutions to ending hunger. Our goal is to inspire the co­creation of a Montgomery County where all have access to safe, sufficient, nutritious food. Strategic Planning Vision is evident in the strategic planning process Manna undertook this fiscal year. The plan reiterates Manna’s mission of food distribution, education, and advocacy, while prioritizing participant­ centered programs, a sustainable business model and our leadership role as the Center of ending hunger in the County. Check out the plan at: www.mannafood.org/who­we­are/strategic­plan Manna cannot achieve these goals without you and we thank you for the support that makes our service possible.

Manna offers an average of 3,760 families approximately 60 pounds of perishable and non­perishable food every month. This allows families to boost their monthly food budget by more than $100 a month.

Early each morning, our Food for Families program begins with Manna’s food pickups from Tony delivering food to 46 seniors at Franklin more than 50 grocery stores and farmers markets across the County. Manna screens Apartments, in partnership with Adventist and sorts rescued produce, then combines fresh food with shelf­stable items. These are Community Services of Greater Washington often donated to us from a range of community groups from Scouts to synagogues. Thanks to the service of our community and corporate volunteers, the food is sorted according to nutritional content and quality.

Food boxes are distributed at Manna's warehouse daily and through a network of satellite locations. Many of these satellite locations serve seniors living in subsidized housing. Seniors often face additional barriers to food access including unique health, social, and nutrition challenges.

Boxes of fresh items are prepared for clients every Food for Families involves many moving parts. We give a special thanks to our partners day & often include locally grown produce at St. Camillus Church, Catholic Charities, Salvation Army, Family Services, Inc., Long Branch Community Center and East County Community Center, who welcome us to their locations once a week for food distribution activities.

Manna Makes a Difference "If there was no way to get food from Manna during the month, the hardship would be great, especially for my children who often have to go to bed hungry. There are numerous occasions during the month where there is only enough food for my children, so I will miss a meal." - Sharon* A volunteer brings 60 lbs of food * Indicates name changed to the car of a Manna client Choice Pantry Impact Manna in the Community Manna’s Choice Transportation is a significant challenge for many of our clients. Pantry at Colesville To help remove that barrier, Manna distributes food not only from Presbyterian Church, our warehouse but at distribution sites throughout the County. now in its second Manna also drops food off directly to housing complexes so year, serves residents with special needs do not have to travel. around 70 families each month.

The Karen Goldberg Smart Sacks program supports over 2,490 elementary school students and their families with food assistance over the weekend. School staff at 60 area elementary schools identify students in need, community partners pick up and pack “Sacks” of nutritious food, and students and their families enjoy balanced meals when school breakfast and lunch are not available.

"The children are so excited every week. I have some students who linger after the others in case there is an extra bag. They like to feel responsible in helping their families with groceries." - Counselor

Students receive a nutritious menu each week, including whole grains, low sodium canned vegetables, lean proteins and healthier snack items.

In addition to food distribution and nutrition education, Manna’s mission includes advocacy for legislation and programs that can provide additional support and sustainable change in our clients’ lives. This spring, we brought Maria Chavez on board, seasoned community outreach worker, to provide Manna clients with application support for the Jackie testifying before the County Council on behalf of HR­19­16, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP/food stamps). to create a plan to achieve food security in Montgomery County. Maria has made a huge impact in the community through her work, enrolling 181 new SNAP recipients and securing $24,000 in monthly benefits for families in need. Manna Makes a Difference While at Manna’s Wheaton satellite Maria met Sonia and Michael, parents of three children. Sonia is currently employed but Michael has had trouble finding work. We informed the family of the SNAP program, they applied that day and are currently receiving $360/month in benefits.

Manna has also been advocating on behalf of our constituents at the state and local level. Jackie recently provided testimony in support of Montgomery County Council Bill 16­19 and Manna has been named a key stakeholder in the design of the legislated County­wide Food Security Plan. Manna outreach worker, Maria, talks to clients at our Manna also helped facilitate the testimony of our senior client, Margaret, Long Branch satellite about SNAP enrollment before Maryland General Assembly committees. This effort resulted in an increase in the minimum SNAP benefit for seniors across the state.

Manna’s Nutrition Education programming is designed to inspire healthy ways to cook with Manna’s food, and make healthy choices on a budget. This year we expanded Nutrition Education at Manna to serve more clients where they are in terms of health, geography and culture. We hosted workshops for seniors and parents about heart health and diabetes in Spanish, Vietnamese, Russian, and Mandarin. We fostered deeper relationships with our Smart Sacks families through community potlucks at elementary schools to kick off our upcoming bilingual community cookbook. Cooking classes at local Rec Centers teach parents creative ways to prepare healthy, budget meals Manna recently completed a survey of clients who took our Cooking Matters At The Store tour, and learned 93% of respondents stated that learning about MyPlate and techniques for comparing foods helped them be healthier in shopping and preparing food at home.

One client, Mary*, said since receiving food assistance from Manna and participating in nutrition education programs over the past two years, “I have lost 30 pounds and try to encourage my children to eat healthier.” Mary also shared that, as a result of the nutrition workshop, she purchases more fresh vegetables than before. She also reads nutrition labels when shopping and compares unit prices to save money.

Another client, Gertrude*, shared that fresh fruits and vegetables have become important in her family.

Community Food Rescue (CFR) fulfills the need to coordinate and build the capacity of our community to rescue and redistribute unsold, surplus food to people experiencing hunger.

In 2015, the CFR network reported receiving 2,802,265 lbs. (2,335,221 meals) of rescued food valued at $4,935,613. Behind these numbers lie the special connections made between food donor businesses like High Point catering which donated 10 trays of hearty Fresh food donated by One Acre Farm & appetizers after a Manna fundraiser to Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless, whose received by People Encouraging People shelter clients enjoyed a delicious meal the next day.

CFR donor Farmer Amanda Cather of Plow and Stars Farm is committed to giving back to the community. She also won’t let her beautiful organic vegetables grown with hard work go to waste. Last year, she donated more than 2,000 lbs. of unsold fresh organic produce to multiple CFR food assistance organizations.

Clients received bags of fresh produce to take home through Rainbow Community Development Corporation or ate a delicious meal cooked with this produce at CFR partners, Shepherd's Table and Family Services, Inc.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet. Many Montgomery County residents don’t have access to these important nutritious foods, which is why Manna created its Farm to Food Bank initiative in 2010. Farm to Food Bank provides locally grown produce to those experiencing hunger in our community by partnering with neighboring farms throughout the growing season.

The exponential growth of our program’s distribution makes clear its success, soaring from 35,894 pounds of produce in our first year to 133,292 pounds last season.

Manna is proud to work with four farmers markets (listed on our Food Donors page) and three Montgomery County farmers: One Acre Farm, Red Wiggler Community Farm & Chocolates and Tomatoes Farm. We are deeply grateful to these partners for their enthusiastic participation, and for their donations of hundreds of additional pounds of food.

"That I could reap the bounty of the land, so graciously provided by the good people of Montgomery County, just moments away from such need and such promise without acting to their benefit would be unconscionable. Fortunately the good people at Manna have provided me the opportunity to be a part of something special. Not only do we feel honored to partner with Manna, but feel the better for it.” - Mark Mills, Chocolates and Tomatoes Farm

We know that supporting our local food system is an integral part of increasing food access for all residents and essential to our goal of eliminating hunger in Montgomery County.

The Foodie Festivus event featured a utensil­ themed tree, "Chopped" style competition pitting Team Manna against Chef Alex Garcia (both pictured), food and awareness campaign. A special thanks to Downtown Silver Spring for partnering with Manna!

Manna tabled in the community at Sugarloaf Craft Festival and industry gatherings. These special events are in addition to Manna's daily distribution work in the community (see Mike pictured with Manna's truck at Long Branch Community Center).

Manna's signature event is our Heroes Against Hunger Annual Awards reception, where we take the opportunity to honor community leaders making a difference in the fight against hunger. In April, we honored Shondra Jenkins, Executive Director of the Sodexo Foundation and Director of Community Relations at Sodexo as our Individual Hero of the Year. Shondra served on Manna's Board and helped found our Smart Sacks program. New for 2016, Manna also honored our Corporate Hero of the Year, Giant Food.
