Celestial Manna

Celestial Manna is a faith-based food recovery nonprofit started in 1986 by founder Charlie Mann as a means to feed his own family. Today, the charity supports over 20,000 people monthly in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Celestial Manna recovers food from grocery stores, restaurants and local farms that would otherwise be discarded. Volunteers pick up and distribute the donations in communities where people are affected by poverty, twice a day, seven days a week.
