Taste of Durango 2013

 

 Taste of Durango 2013 to benefit

Manna Soup Kitchen

Who is Manna and what do they do for our community?

 

"Manna serves breakfast, lunch, sack lunches and hot dinners to go Monday through Friday, and hot brunch and sack lunches on Saturday and Sunday. Our clients include the working poor, individuals, families, children, the elderly, and the homeless.  Our sack lunch program fills the County’s Department of Human Services gaps by supplementing the food stamp program and school lunch program.   Manna collaborates with business partners and other non-profits that provide food to their clients. Manna helps stock the Silverton Food Bank and re-distributes excess fresh and canned donations to the Food Bank, VOA Shelter, Safehouse, Hilltop House, Loaves and Fishes in Pagosa Springs, and Mercy Housing.

 

In 2013 Manna expects to:
Serve 68,000 meals, provide 20,600 sack lunches, distribute 1200 hygiene packs, and provide 6 students with internship opportunities." 

That's alotta stuff for Manna to do! So we at Durango Toy Depot play a miniscule part in all of this by volunteering at Taste of Durango. Sure, we take our toys and some games so people can play games and win prizes but more importantly, we donate all we do at the Taste of Durango so that Manna Soup Kitchen can continue their work in our community. 

Durango is a great place to live, it's also a great place to eat! 

Join us, this Sunday as we celebrate what Durango has to offer!
