Our Story

Manna has operated in Durango, Colorado since 1985. Our organization was originally founded to address hunger through the distribution of food and the eventual founding of our soup kitchen. Since then, our mission and model have grown to provide nutritious food and meals, supportive services, and employment readiness, addressing the root causes of poverty in our community.

At the Manna Resource Center

we offer services and connect people to resources in order to address the root causes of poverty, hunger, hardship and homelessness through equipping our community with the skills and resources needed to move forward.

We aim to increase food security in our community.

We serve hot and cold meals through our take-out window and community fridge. Our food market offers produce, meat, canned and dried goods, and other items that are provided through community donations.
