Because of MANNA's incredible network of support, the “Fill the Freezer” Campaign raised over $104,000, far surpassing our original $75,000 goal. All funds given toward this initiative will help purchase the fresh and frozen food that families across Western North Carolina need most.

For being part of the MANNA community and this shared work—thank you. At a time when MANNA’s mission is as critical as ever, serving an average over 220,000+ visits to our food partner network every month—our communities showed up for one another yet again.

Food purchased through this campaign will reach neighbors who need it most, through MANNA’s network of 313 food distribution partners across 16 counties of Western North Carolina and the Qualla Boundary. For a working family trying to make ends meet, this means bringing home milk, produce, eggs, or protein they may otherwise not be able to purchase while also trying to cover rent, keep the lights on, fill a gas tank, or pay for medicine.

Thank YOU for what you made possible for our neighbors across the region.

The NALC food drive 2026 was a huge success! On the day of the event, we counted more than 13,000 lbs of food, and we're still weighing some final deliveries! Thank you so much to the National Association of Letter Carriers for hosting the event, and to every single person who left food by their mailbox to participate. Each and every pound of food that you raised will go towards feeding your neighbors and ensuring Food for All in Western North Carolina and beyond.
