The 13th Annual Student Food Drive
Feb 10 all-day
online

#MANNAStudentChallenge2022

The past few years, we have been unable to host our annual student food drive due to the pandemic. This year, however, the student food drive and the competition between schools to see who can collect the most food returns!
Throughout the entire month of March, schools will be hosting food drives and competing between each other to see who can donate the most pounds of food to MANNA or their local partner agency. Students can also earn points that will be added to their total score by making financial donations, volunteering at their local partner agency, participating in hunger and nutrition education opportunities and joining us in our #MANNAStudentChallenge2022 TikTok campaign.
To earn points for their school through the #MANNAStudentChallenge2022, students can create TikTok videos that either feature them eating a fruit or vegetable they have never tried before or highlight a recipe that they believe is unique to their family.
At the end of the campaign, we will announce winners for each of our categories: high school, middle school, elementary school, college or university, most improved, rookie of the year and most creative.
If you are interested in having your school participate in MANNA’s Annual Student Food Drive, contact Jake Deuterman.

Mast General Store
Mast General Stores are supporting MANNA FoodBank in February. On Feb. 12 &13, they’ll donate $1 for every pound of candy sold or you can round up your purchase in store. Learn more.

Round Up in-store purchases to donate to local food banks

During the month of February, we are asking our customers in all Mast Store locations to round up their purchases to the next dollar to make a donation to our local food security partners. Over the course of last year, we your spare change has made a big impact. A few cents here and there resulted in donations totaling more than $50,000 to help our partners put food on our neighbors’ tables in 2020.

 

The Mast Store supports many causes throughout the year, but one of the most important ones to us is human needs. Of those needs, food is a basic building block. Without food, you can’t do well in school, perform your job, or take care of those you love.

This February, we invite you to share the love with a donation to one of the food security agencies we support … or one in your hometown. The need is great, but the reward is greater. Any amount will make an impact – imagine, what you might spend on a cup of coffee ($3) could provide nine meals or more for someone in need.
