Help a Neighbor Through a Crisis
When a neighbor suddenly faces an empty pantry because of illness, job loss, transportation problems, or another unexpected crisis, Manna Ministry steps into the gap. Your gift helps us deliver food and household essentials directly to our neighbors while offering encouragement, prayer, and the hope of Jesus Christ.
Serving neighbors in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake and Portsmouth.

Your generosity provides practical help when it is needed most…
On average, it costs approximately $150 to $200 to prepare and deliver emergency food assistance to one household. Every family’s situation is different, but each delivery is intended to provide several days of food and may also include hygiene products, cleaning supplies, or other household essentials.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
- Jeremiah 29:11
Your gift reaches a family’s front door
Manna is not a walk-in food pantry. Our volunteers prepare food according to each household’s size and needs, then deliver it directly to the family’s home. This allows us to serve neighbors who may have limited transportation or who are still waiting to receive longer-term support.
Your generosity helps Manna:
Purchase groceries and household essentials that are not available through donated inventory
Prepare food deliveries based on household size and immediate need
Deliver directly to neighbors throughout the Tidewater area
Offer prayer, encouragement, and the hope of Jesus Christ
Respond to urgent needs that may not fit within another organization’s normal services
A reminder that someone cares
“Thank you so much! You reminded me of how blessed I am. I needed that reminder. I’ve been going through a lot lately, but I know everything will be all right.”
— Lu, a neighbor served by Manna
A delivery is more than groceries. It reminds our neighbors facing a difficult season that they have not been forgotten and that people in their community care about what they are going through.
