Project MANA - A Hunger Relief Agency

Sierra Sun:  How long have you volunteered for Project Mana?

A long time, I forget now.

What do you do for the organization?

Help with distributing food — to people who are homebound.

How often do you distribute?

Once a week, sometimes twice if they need more help.

Have the holidays been busier?

Not specifically, no. We had more distribution for Thanksgiving. But if they need extra help, sure, I’ll do it, why not?

Why did you get involved?

I like to help people, those who are really in need.

What would you like to say about Project Mana?

There are special people working and volunteering with Project Mana. It is nice when it comes from the heart. More volunteers would always be nice. I invite people to come and volunteer.
