Volunteers with Manna Ministries joined forces June 5 to prepare food boxes for the ministry’s weekly Friday distribution, demonstrating a spirit of service and community support.
Vicki Metcalf shared her appreciation for the many volunteers who dedicated their time to the effort.
“Manna Ministries volunteers worked filling boxes for the carline Friday, June 5. Lots of friends and family volunteered today. Sisters, nanas with their grandkids, husband and wife teams, parents working with their children, friends and others all did their part to ensure the boxes made yesterday were ready to hand out today. There was hard work, laughter and a servant’s heart to help those in our community. We at Manna Ministries appreciate those who donate in any way to help the ministry. Thanks to those who contribute at our yard sales. We have awesome individuals who come through the carline. We often receive prayer requests, they roll down their windows so we can see the precious little ones and give us kind words of encouragement. Please keep the Manna Ministries volunteers in your prayers.”
Funds raised during a recent Manna Ministries yard sale were reinvested into the ministry through the purchase of several needed items, including an electric concrete floor cleaner, storage racks and carts, mops, a leaf blower and paint.
The ministry distributes food boxes every Friday beginning at 6:30 a.m. and continues until all available food has been distributed.
Those interested in volunteering, making a donation or learning more about the ministry are encouraged to visit Manna Ministries at 953 West Fifth Street in Waldron.
