As our Bronx community faces uncertainty with the pause on SNAP benefits, the most impactful way to support Manna of Life right now is through monetary donations. While we deeply appreciate every can of food and every volunteer hour, cash allows us to leverage our established relationships with food banks and distributors to purchase products at cost, often significantly cheaper than what families can find at regular grocery stores.
This means your $20 donation can stretch to feed more people than $20 worth of groceries from the supermarket, and we can respond immediately to fill the gaps left by federal program interruptions. We’re thankful for all the help because every bit matters, but when families are counting on us more than ever, strategic giving multiplies your generosity.
Here’s how you can help:
- Donate to support our work: mannaoflife.org/donate
- Volunteer your time and skills
- Share our story with your network

As always, helpers will shine in these tough times, and we’re blessed to serve alongside a community that refuses to let hunger win. Blessed be all.
