Manna - The Durango Soup Kitchen

Manna Soup Kitchen was founded in May, 1986. The previous winter, a woman died from starvation in a horse stall at the La Plata County Fairgrounds in Durango, Colorado. This tragedy resulted in a small group of Christians organizing to provide food for the hungry.

By 2006, Manna was serving over 35,000 meals per year including breakfast, a hot lunch, and hot and cold to-go dinners. With its mission statement of feeding the hungry still the top priority, Manna has expanded its services to the homeless and less fortunate in our community to include providing vouchers to the truly needy for gasoline, clothing, food, and temporary lodging.

Manna is also working with other non-profits in the area to provide other necessary services. This year saw Manna host its First Annual Health, Housing, and Job Fair. -- Manna - Durango Soup Kitchen website.
