Volunteer at MANNA

Since 1990, MANNA Volunteers have come together from all different backgrounds to help prepare food, pack containers, and deliver meals directly to the doorsteps of Philadelphians living with serious illnesses. United in our 10,000 square foot kitchen, volunteers contribute their time, skills, and (the secret ingredient) care into our client’s medically tailored meals.

MANNA is an essential service that relies on volunteers like you! See below to learn how you can get started with volunteering at MANNA.
