While our community kitchen is the core of our organization, the overall goal of Manna is to help our clients gain greater self-sufficiency through our expanded programs and services. Manna is an equal opportunity provider.

What people say

I want to give you a big, huge thanks for helping me make progress towards being self sufficient. The fact you were able to help me with a bus pass and I.D. has been huge. Now I have my third job interview with a local restaurant and am working towards self sufficiency.
The Manna Culinary Program opened doors for me that I didn't know existed. I learned so much and didn't want to leave at the end of 10 weeks! Rebecca and the team at Manna are super supportive and always there to teach, encourage, and guide their students toward new beginnings.
You do extraordinary work to make Durango a kinder, gentler, better place. Once a month my eight year old grandson and I spend a Sunday morning in your kitchen helping to prepare a breakfast for your clients. It's very little but for Emmett and me it has become a powerful tradition and a very special element of our relationship.
