How you can get involved….
- Manna would like to find GROUPS (of 3 or more!) to "adopt a store" for the day to help Manna collect food from the shoppers. This is the perfect opportunity to get your faith based organization, business, civic organizations, sports team, boy scout or girl scout troop, school club, or neighborhood group together and makes a real difference. SSL Hours are offered for students.
- To register, you must have a GROUP of 3 – 4 people and at least 1 adult supervisor – so if you do not have a formal organization – rally a few friends and sign up together as a GROUP.
- Giant will allow the volunteers to be inside to greet shoppers as they enter the store to allow us to promote awareness of the food drive and to take donations from shoppers as they leave.
- All supplies and materials will be at the designated Giant location and Manna will be picking up the food donations at the conclusion of the food drive.
How to register your group for a store…
- Contact volunteer@mannafood.org or call 301-424-1130 and ask for the Volunteer Coordinator
- Indicate your city, date preference, name of your GROUP and number of members in your GROUP and contact information so we can find the best fit for you.
