What is MANNA?

In the Old Testament account of the Israelite’s journey through the wilderness, God sent down his hungry people. They called this food MANNA.

The mission of the Metropolitan Area Noon Nutrition Association (MANNA), a nonprofit organization, is to deliver a daily nutritional, diet-specific meal to Etowah County, Alabama residents who are elderly, have special needs, or are homebound, to provide for their physical and emotional well-being and lessen isolation by involving volunteers in community service.
