The 13th Annual Student Food Drive
Feb 17 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.

Your blood is going to someone who really needs it. To get it there is a process.

Once they’re there, lives are saved

Jesse Daniel Edwards & Band Return
Feb 18 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm
White Horse Black Mountain

Jesse Daniel Edwards is an acclaimed songwriter and radio charting artist hailing from the small mountain town of Cuyamaca, CA (pop. 60). As a child, Jesse and his 6 siblings grew up without television, internet, or significant exposure to the outside world- they went without electricity until he was age 12. He spent his time learning to sing harmony to gospel tracks and tinkering on hand-me-down instruments with his grandpa. Leaving home at 16, he spent his late teen years busking on street corners around the US and abroad. He eventually grew to perform upon the festival and university circuits full-time after a chance encounter with Al Bunetta (John Prine), sharing the stage with Morrissey, Lucinda Williams, and John Prine. His songs have been featured in radio, TV, streaming movies, video games, and 2 independent films.

He spent the lockdown working odd jobs, moving back to the American South. There, he picked up the guitar again after a near 2 year hiatus. He began reinventing his music, writing and recording in his home studio profusely, and ultimately planning to hit the stage again as the world reopened. Now he appears for a limited engagement with his 3-piece band of A list players.
