MANNA Joseph Storehouse serves people across 13 counties. There are no income requirements or citizenship restrictions mentioned, but you do need to apply and be approved before you can receive a Blessings Box.
Visit the Apply Now page and submit your application. The volunteer team reviews applications before distribution begins. Once approved, you'll get an email confirmation that acts as your digital card. You'll need to show that approval confirmation every time you visit, so save it somewhere safe (a screenshot works). Approvals are valid for one year, so you'll need to re-apply when yours expires.
No ID, passport, or other documents are required. You just need to bring proof of your approval confirmation (a screenshot, printed email, or photo of the approval email) each visit. Make sure you include an email address on your application so the team can send you that confirmation.
Once approved, you can come once per week (once every seven days). If you first visit on a Saturday, your next visit would be the following Saturday. If you first visit on a Tuesday, your next would be the following Tuesday. Sticking to the same day each week is the maximum frequency allowed.
The pantry is fully run by volunteers and operates while supplies last, so the team recommends arriving as close to 12 pm as possible on open days. Hours and days are subject to change at any time. Follow the pantry's Facebook and Instagram pages for the most current updates on closures or schedule changes. You won't get a text notification about closures, so checking social media ahead of time is the best way to confirm before making the trip.
MANNA Joseph Storehouse provides Blessings Boxes filled with a variety of groceries. Items spotted in boxes include deli and prepared foods, fresh baked goods, dairy and milk, sweet treats, meats, canned and preserved goods, staples and rice, and bread. One reviewer noted they received Coke zero drinks and Ritz crackers. The selection can vary by visit, and some items may be broken out of their original packaging.
The pantry also provides essential clothing to support dignity and self-sufficiency.
Food is distributed as a drive-up service only. You pull into the line in your car and receive your Blessings Box through your window. Lines can get long, especially early in the distribution window, stretching from the church area out into the neighborhood streets. The volunteers work quickly to keep things moving.
