Donated Funds
Matt’s Food Bank is affiliated with Manna, which is part of the National Feed America effort. Matt’s purchases the majority of its food from Manna and then supplements its food bank content from local stores who also supply donations. Additionally, we purchase needed items not available as surplus for client’ s in need. For every dollar that Matt’s spends with Manna, we are able to provide enough food for 3.5 meals.
Contributions come in monthly from local individuals, and businesses. Donations can be made directly, or in memory or honor of a family member.
Checks can be made out to Matt’s Ministry and sent to: PO Box 205, Hayesville, NC 28904.
