"Whoever comes," Fletcher said, "there are

"We are kind of an example," she said.

Manna Church operates a food bank and
clothes closet from the new men's shelter.
e church routinely sends response
teams throughout the community and
across the country to help those whose lives
and homes have been shattered by such
natural disasters as a hurricane or a tornado.
Aer Hurricane Harvey hit Texas
and Louisiana in 2017, a Manna Church
Outreach Team helped clear the clutter and
bring hope to families in the affected areas.
A year later, Manna worked with food banks
across the storm-affected regions in North
and South Carolina in a coordinated effort
to help alleviate the impacts from Florence.
In March 2020, Manna Church leaders
delivered more than 7,000 N95 masks to
Cape Fear Valley Medical Center in the
midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Church
staff was rummaging through its disaster
relief storage units and discovered the
leover masks that were used for relief
efforts during Hurricane Florence.

inside Manna Dream
Center is a Bible verse from
Acts 20:35: "In all things
I have shown you that by
working hard in this way
we must help the weak and
remember the words of the
Lord Jesus, how he himself
said, 'It is more blessed to
give than to receive.' "
