Each month Felix Populi gives 10% of the profits from our internet revenue to a charity. This month we're giving to Philadelphia based MANNA.
MANNA (Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutritional Alliance) delivers care and hope by nourishing people who are at acute nutritional risk due to a life-threatening illness.
A small professional staff and more than 1,000 dedicated volunteers bring over 40,000 nutritious, freshly prepared, home-delivered meals each month to individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS, cancer or other life-threatening illness. MANNA dieticians promote wellness through nutrition education and counseling. Through these services, MANNA provides opportunities for caring people to extend loving support to families, friends, and neighbors. MANNA’s kitchens just completed major renovations to our kitchen facility to be able to serve up to 1,500 clients a day 100% complete nutrition – three meals a day, seven days a week.
MANNA nourishes the mind, body and spirit of clients, volunteers and supporters alike. Drawn from all walks of life, the young, old, urban and suburban come together with one common goal: to promote wellness through nutrition for people at acute nutritional risk living in Eastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey.
Formed in 1990 by members of the First Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, MANNA is a 501 (c)3 non-profit and is non-sectarian. MANNA provides essential and specialized services to men, women and children coping with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-threatening illness.
