NEW Vaccination Policy and Requirements for All CFR Volunteers
All Manna volunteers of all ages must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as of January 1, 2022. If you are or wish to be a volunteer food runner, please send a completed Vaccine Confirmation form and a copy of your vaccine card to the Manna CEO at hr@mannafood.org. Those who do not receive the vaccine and who do not have an approved accommodation will be unable to volunteer with Manna and CFR until further notice. Volunteers who seek an exemption from this policy because of a medical reason or a sincerely held religious belief must submit the Request for Medical Accommodation form or Request for Religious Accommodation form to the Manna CEO at hr@mannafood.org to begin the accommodation review process. You can review the complete Manna vaccination policy here. Please direct any questions to the Manna CEO, at hr@mannafood.org.
If you have been exposed to someone with Covid, have tested positive, or if you are symptomatic, please check with your health care provider as to when it is safe for you to resume public activities.

The Simple Solution for Feeding More & Wasting Less
The Community Food Rescue network of businesses, volunteers and hunger relief organizations is committed to eliminating hunger and food waste here in Montgomery County. We use innovative technology to find perfectly good food that local businesses would have thrown away, and dispatch volunteers to deliver it to agencies serving people who may not know where their next meal will come from.
