Hope in Hard Times - Manna House

"The Israelites ate manna forty years, until they came to a habitable land..." (Exo. 16:35)

Among the many organizations doing important work in service to the people of Baltimore is Manna House whose stated mission is "To offer assistance and support to the homeless, poor and needy of Baltimore with services contributing toward their independence and stability." On a recent visit, it was shared with those of us who were there that Manna House has been in existence for over 43 years, and today serves over 175 persons per day with services such as hot meals, clothing, showers, and health screenings. We also learned that there continues to be a need for support from church and community organizations, as well individual volunteers and donors. To find out more about Manna House, go to their website at www.mannahouseinc.org. May God continue to bless those who serve the poor and powerless in the city.
