Be careful and tight-lipped if you deal with this organization! I spent 45 minutes registering with their organization so I could get a one-time food pickup for myself, wife and three children. They asked me for so much personally identifiable information that I felt it was an interrogation. Would this also apply to undocumented individuals? Manna says it doesn't reveal information to the Government, so why does it ask for it? It even asked me if everyone in my family is a US citizen! Our incomes. Our addresses. Our phone numbers. How long have we lived where we are. Our email addresses. Where do we work. I later emailed them asking that they delete that information; no response. Do they sell that information to others? Further, the food was enough for about one day of consumption. While I appreciate that the food was made available for my family and me, should I ever go again to a food bank, which is rare for me in any case, I will choose one where people can be given food with basically no questions asked: not for the purpose of repeatedly getting free food at others' expense and charity, but to avoid a long and drawn out invasion of privacy by the organization. Is there something else going on here?

I have two large bags of canned foods, from a son that graduated and moved. I wasn't able to find a food drop box near by. So I drove to manna food. I rang the doorbell and said I had two large bags of canned foods. The young man came out right away with a cart, and we got the bags out of the car. Seemed very organized. He told me they can't have food drop boxes during the summer. This was my first time donating food. I look forward to donating more.

Blue Bins are outside our warehouse at 9311 Gaither Road, Gaithersburg, MD on Saturdays and Sundays. You may also drop off food donations M-F 8 am to 4 pm in the parking lot of our Market/Admin Office at 12301 Old Columbia Pike. Please look for the Manna-branded pod in the parking lot.

I was there photographing for the city of Gaithersburg, so I'm not very familiar with the center's operation. I suggest you give them a call and talk with someone. They're very happy to help and nice to work with.

Hi Amanda, welcome to Montgomery County! We do have good vegetables & frozen meat selections at a number of distribution locations around the area. Our free market at 12301 Old Columbia Like provides an opportunity to shop for your food. Unfortunately, we do not offer dog food. If you have proof of residency, please call our office at 301-424-1130 to make an appointment to pick up food. They can also help you find a place that provides pet food. -the Manna team

Do you pick donations up if they are a large quantity?

Debbie Jones | Sep 16, 2019
Manna Food Center | Sep 16, 2019

Thanks for your interest in donating food! We generally request that if the donation would fit into a mini-van, please bring it straight to our warehouse at 9311 Gaither Road in Gaithersburg. This helps Manna keep costs low, especially during the height of our busy season. We are available to receive food during business hours, on the second Saturday of the month (tomorrow) and in an exterior bin after-hours. If the donation is more than 500 lbs/unable to fit in a mini-van, our Director of Logistics, Edwin Drijas, would be able to help schedule a pick-up sometime after Thanksgiving. Sincerely, ~ Stephanie at Manna
