Join Our Fresh Food Drive!

In these late winter months, fresh fruits and vegetables are hard to come by, especially with the increased cost of groceries we are all seeing. For our neighbors who are struggling to afford groceries, fresh produce is vital for health and wellbeing, but can feel like an out-of-reach luxury. MANNA FoodBank is committed to providing all families with healthy plates of nutritiously dense fresh food, all year round, all across these mountains.

To help MANNA meet this challenge of limited access to fresh produce in the winter months, we are pleased to announce our first virtual Fresh Food Drive. You can make a direct impact in the health of Western North Carolina families by helping MANNA purchase fresh fruits and vegetables, and create those healthy, colorful plates that everyone deserves.

And, thanks to an extremely generous matching gift challenge from the Rakay Family Foundation, your support of the Fresh Food Drive will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $100,000, from March 1st through April 1st! MANNA is deeply grateful to the Rakay Family Foundation for this very special gift matching opportunity to provide nutritious foods to the people we serve across WNC.

“Regardless of economic status, everyone deserves access to healthy foods, and healthy eating benefits the entire community, as our neighbors enjoy improved health outcomes,” said Bruce Rakay of the Rakay Family Foundation. “The Rakay Family is honored in helping to achieve this goal.”

This matching gift will help nourish families in need with a colorful bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables on their plate, and will enable MANNA to meet the challenges of limited access to local, fresh produce in the winter months and the increased costs of sourcing outside of the region.

Thank you for sharing in our commitment to providing healthy, balanced plates of food to our neighbors in need through MANNA’s Fresh Food Drive.

A gift match was created by a group of women who are committed to helping women who struggle with the trauma of homelessness. The $8,000 match was introduced last week at the HomeTrust Bank Open Your Heart for Women and Homelessness Luncheon and ends this Friday. We are almost there!

 

This year’s theme was mothers and families experiencing homelessness.

 

Research shows that the number of mothers experiencing homelessness is growing. Your support can mean the difference between a home and life on the street for a family in need. Double your impact by supporting the Open Your Heart Gift Match today.

The Blood Connection Donations: We Stand with Ukraine
Mar 24 @ 7:00 am – 7:00 pm
The Blood Connection

After tremendous donor support last week, The Blood Connection is offering blood donors another chance to help the people of Ukraine.

Nearly 600 blood donors came to donation centers across the Carolinas and Georgia last week to double their impact – donating blood to help their local hospitals while also helping to raise money for United Help Ukraine, a non-profit focused on helping those impacted by Russian attacks on Ukraine.  Thanks to blood donors, The Blood Connection raised $2,900 for United Help Ukraine.

This week, once again, The Blood Connection will donate $5 to United Help Ukraine for every blood donor who donates at a TBC center on March 24 and 25.  Donors also have the option of donating their TBC Rewards Points back to the organization through the TBC online store.

The Blood Connection thanks every blood donor who stepped up to make an impact in their community and across the world.

In addition to the $5 donation, blood donors will receive a pair of Bluetooth headphones and a $20 eGift card as a “thank you” for their donation.  Donors wishing to donate their eGift card back to United Help Ukraine can do so by going to the TBC Online Store following their donation.  To find a center, go to thebloodconnection.org/centers or call 864-255-5000.  Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins are always welcome.
