Green Acres Market helps supply Manna with top-quality meats
Manna is a food pantry serving those in need of food throughout the Conejo Valley area and is committed to providing clients with a good source of protein. The nutrients in high-quality protein foods is vital for those families struggling with hunger. In an effort to do so, Manna has been purchasing ground beef and whole chickens from Green Acres Market for decades. On average, we move more than 26,000 pounds of mean through the food pantry each year and Green Acres Market helps make it possible by not marking the meat up and delivering it to us at no additional cost.
  • Here are some reasons why Manna is so dedicated to getting high protein food into homes struggling with hunger.
  • Hunger and malnutrition affects can last a lifetime, affecting a child physically, mentally and emotionally.
  • Almost 20 percent of children under 5 years of age in low income families suffer from anemia.
  • Children in homes struggling with hunger suffer daily from weight loss, fatigue, headaches and frequent colds.
Thanks to those in the community and Green Acres Market, we are able to provide families in need with the proper amounts of protein to keep their kids in good health. For more information about our food bank services contact Manna. We are located in Thousand Oaks.
