About this organization
Mission
Our Mission Statement reads, “Manna Café Ministries serves people in need in Clarksville/Montgomery County through a soup kitchen on wheels, food box distribution, and other vital resources. Propelled chiefly by volunteers, Manna Café strives to restore hope, dignity, self-reliance, health, community, and the love of God through Jesus Christ." We are a Christ-centered organization that uses the “vehicles” of food distribution and other resources to serve the community. We confront food insecurity in this region by providing nutritionally sound, balanced meals as well as 50-pound boxes of groceries to those who are lacking. We also aspire to salvage as much food as possible from being wasted by grocery stores and restaurants, pairing it instead with those in need. We offer monthly training in nutrition and healthy eating for our soup kitchen clients. Clients also have access to prayer 3 days/week as well as a free weekly health clinic. We also provide emergency shelter during periods of extreme weather, and clothing/household item distribution through our partner organization, Hands & Feet 4 Christ. As we carry out these various programs, community is cultivated by way of conversation, group interaction, shared tasks, and shared meals. All the while, the barriers between the so-called “haves” and “have-nots” come down, and the lines between “us” and “them” are blurred. Many times, the homeless man has volunteered alongside the bank president or political leader. We welcome everyone—male and female, young and old, homeless and wealthy—to be part of our team, both volunteer and staff. As a faith-based organization, our mission springs from the desire to serve “the least of these.” Our long-term goals include permanent, transitional housing for the homeless. Other dreams such as the ability to offer addiction counseling, life and job skills classes in subjects such as parenting and money management, and other resources, in now in view with the recent acquisition of property that is currently being transformed into The Manna Village.
