The Manna House, which serves free daily meals to those in need, is expanding its reach in the community by offering delivery services for those who don t have transportation to the nonprofit at 2655 Lee Street. Part of the Manna House s strategic plan was to reach the segment of the population in our community who couldn t make it to Manna House, said Jessica Viator, executive director. We re here 365 days a year from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m.
Viator said Manna House has always served a hot, nutritious meal to anyone no questions asked. Then with COVID, there were some people who didn t have the means to make it to Manna House, and they were in need, she said. The Manna House started offering to-go meals because patrons couldn t dine in the facility. That might be the model for the foreseeable future.
