Husband- Father- Leader trying to better my community.

    WE HAVE THE DEED—NOW WE NEED YOUR HELP! Praise be to God! Fresh Manna Ministries/Manna Empowerment Center officially has the deed to the building! We are now working against a very strict deadline. Code Enforcement has given us 90 days to repair the building, remove the unsafe and collapsed portions, and make the property safe before our Code Enforcement hearing. Because of limited funding, completing this work within 90 days will be difficult without help from the community. We urgently need donations to pay for demolition, cleanup, repairs, building materials, equipment, permits, and other costs required to bring the property into compliance. This building will become a place where we can worship and continue providing programs, resources, food, clothing, and support to children, families, seniors, and others throughout our community. Please consider donating to our GoFundMe and sharing this fundraiser. Every donation—no matter the amount—will help us move one step closer to saving the building before our deadline. We have the deed. We have the vision. Now we need your help to save the building! Thank you for your prayers, donations, and support. Fresh Manna Ministries 192 Kirk Avenue Memphis, TN 38109
    HELP US REBUILD, RESTORE, AND CONTINUE SERVING OUR COMMUNITY We, the leaders of Fresh Manna/Manna Empowerment Center, are asking for your support during a critical time for our ministry and community outreach programs. Manna Empowerment Center has faithfully worked to provide a safe, welcoming, and affirming place where individuals and families can receive help, encouragement, resources, and hope—regardless of their background or circumstances. Your donation will help us continue providing: • Nutritious meals and essential supplies to underserved families • Alcohol and substance-use recovery classes • Job-readiness and employment-preparation training • Parenting classes and family-support services • Mentoring and positive guidance for at-risk youth • Personal-development programs that promote growth, stability, and self-sufficiency • A safe and affirming environment for everyone seeking support We are now facing an urgent need. The roof of our fellowship hall collapsed, causing serious damage to the building and preventing us from using the space for many of our community programs. We are working within a limited timeframe to secure the property, address the damage, and prevent further action from the city. Our goal is to rebuild the fellowship hall and secure a permanent home where we can continue serving youth, families, individuals in recovery, and community members in need. Every donation—large or small—will help us move closer to restoring this important community space. Your support will help cover building repairs, roofing, construction materials, inspections, permits, equipment, and other expenses needed to safely reopen the facility. Please consider making a monetary donation, donating building materials, sponsoring part of the restoration project, or sharing this campaign with your family, friends, church, business, and community. Together, we can rebuild more than a building. We can rebuild hope, restore lives, strengthen families, and create new opportunities for our community. Manna Empowerment Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and donation receipts are available. Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us continue this life-changing work.
