Originally founded in 1985 to help address hunger in Durango, Manna Soup Kitchen’s mission and programs have expanded over time to include housing resource navigation, employment readiness, transportation services, clothing, and other essential services.
The core of their mission continues to be addressing hunger in Durango and the surrounding community. Manna meets this need by offering free meals through their take-out window and community fridge. They also operate an onsite free choice food market that includes a range of options including produce, dried and canned goods, bread, and dairy products.
CHFA has been proud to support Manna through its Direct Effect Awards. Funding helped with rental assistance, resource navigation for residents facing housing insecurity, and a remodeling project that included the launch of a comprehensive resource center.
