MANNA BAGS
We cheerfully distribute more than one thousand manna bags each month to our guests. And although we do not have an "official list" of items or brands to include in a manna bag, we generally recommend that each one-gallon zip-lock bag include at least one of the following:
-
a bottle of water
-
a protein (such as Vienna sausage, tuna pouch, Slim Jim)
-
a fruit (such as fruit cup, box of raisins, apple sauce)
-
a protein bar (such as peanut butter crackers, Kind)
-
a dessert (such as cookies, pretzels)
-
a breath mint (such as peppermint or gum)
-
a surprise!
We also recommend that nothing be included that requires a can opener, but to include a spoon or fork if appropriate. Every item should be individually packaged for safety. A small, individual sanitary hand wipe is always nice to include, but not necessary. Manna bags may be created off campus as a special project, or the items shipped directly to HCH using Amazon. Either way, thank you!
