WNC -- September 21, 2025: Western North Carolina (CFWNC). The CFWNC has awarded a substantial grant to the food bank, which is vital for its mission to feed families across the region.
The grant, totaling $975,000, will be used to purchase and distribute essential and nutritious food items, including fresh produce, proteins, and dairy. This funding is particularly important as MANNA continues to serve a population with heightened need, a result of the widespread destruction caused by Hurricane Helene. The storm destroyed MANNA's previous facilities and inventory, leaving a significant gap in food distribution that the organization has been working tirelessly to fill.Regarding
