Manna & The Garden Project of Southwest Colorado have Merged!
We are thrilled to announce, Manna and The Garden Project of Southwest Colorado are merging to address the root causes of poverty, hunger and hardship in our community. Together we will expand our community relevance and impact, cooperating with families and individuals of all ages to achieve greater resilience and sufficiency by providing nourishing meals, support services, garden programs, food security education and job skills training.
This union comes after 15 years of focused collaboration between the two nonprofits, including sharing of programs, participants, grant funds, volunteers, and tangible resources. We are inspired to take our partnership to a new level by merging the two organizations and creating an even stronger focus on food.
Feeding Community.
Growing Opportunity.
Everyday we take steps to make our region more food secure by serving daily meals, providing culinary job skills training, and much more.
More than a Soup Kitchen.
Manna has been serving quality balanced meals in a safe and respectful environment since 1985. 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.
