Everyone has been affected by the rising prices at
the gas pump. When possible, MANNA has
consolidated driver routes and delivery areas to
conserve gas as we deliver meals to our clients'
homes, five days a week.
On average each week, it costs $80 to fuel one of
MANNA's delivery cars. This summer, you can help
fuel our fleet by making a donation
today.
BONUS: During the months of July and August, each $20 online donation* will receive one entry in the Made in the Shade Summer Raffle. Thanks for your support and good luck! |

The MANNA nutrition department is partnering with Gilda's Club of the Delaware Valley, another grantee of the Philadelphia affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Gilda's Club will host a full day free conference "Lesbians with Breast Cancer: Creating Healthy Lives" on Sunday, July 29 in New Hope, PA. One of MANNA's nutritionists will be presenting a workshop "Making Sense of Nutrition." The conference is open to all lesbians with breast cancer and their entire support network. This collaborative effort will help MANNA get the word out that we are committed to providing not only meals, but also nutrition information to the many women with breast cancer suffering with nutrition concerns and confusion.
