Marketplace Manna Inc

Marketplace Manna Inc Marketplace Manna was created to engage the marketplace and use the resources to help the poor! Manna is something God provided to meet the needs of His people.

Additionally when unexpected help comes, we say “It is like Manna from Heaven”. We have found that there are funds in the marketplace that can be collected to assist and help ministries. It just takes a bit of creativity to get them from the source to the need and that is where we come in – “Marketplace Manna, Inc. researches and finds out how to take what is already out there and get it to the fo

lks who need it! We attempt to be God’s tool to help people do God’s work while being in the marketplace we call living! Currently we are working with New Start a Bulgarian Company importing Knit wear and Greeting cards that support the people of Bulgaria. Marketplace Manna believes that individual’s tithes and offerings are the first line of support for Christian Ministries. God makes that very clear in scripture. We are also called to be witness of Him to the world and to make disciples – that should be happening in our lives everywhere we go. We also believe that all that we do should help in that process if possible, so why not take things we do everyday and with a bit of fore thought let them also support ministries that are working at reaching the lost as well. Marketplace Manna was create to engage the Marketplace and use resource that are already there (that is anyone can take advantage of them and put them together so that individuals and groups can benefit by ways of additional support for the work they are doing for God. The leaders of Marketplace Manna are Alan & Diane Mellinger who have had years of work raising funds for youth groups and missionaries as they led these ministries. They are now bring this information to any who are needing assistance by challenging the rest of the Body of Christ to help even when doing there everyday, routine things of life.

In Early 2026 Marketplace Manna will be closing our retail operation but not our mission!

Our mission to help the poor, disenfranchised, persecuted, disabled, unemployed and vulnerable still stands and is going strong. The realities of rent, utilities, insurance and labor costs going up and the realities of sales not we have come to the decision that we need to close the retail location when our lease is up in January.

BUT we will continue to promote the value of Fairtrade and our mission. We are currently working on different ways to get the merchandise we have and our purpose out in the community. We are looking at doing some pop-up at vendor fairs, local churches and schools, We are looking for small businesses that might be willing to have a stand or display of product we sell that compliment their business (Like earrings in a hair salon or dog toys at a vet). We are open to any and all creative ideas so if you have some let us know.

Thanks for all the support that many have given and do come down to our store at 143 E Michigan in Jackson to get those different and unique gift for this year’s holiday season.
