Groundbreaking for Manna Sunday

A groundbreaking ceremony for a new Manna Food Bank will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 21 at 17897 FM 1255 in Canton.

The facility will be a 40 X 60-foot building and serve as Manna’s permanent location, said Kathy Silver, director.

“This is a monumental milestone towards serving the people of Van Zandt County with the necessities that they require,” said Silver. “While Manna has been able to raise funds towards this new establishment through generous donations, Manna will still require additional funding for the completion of the new facility.  The facility will benefit the entire community and Manna asks that everyone in the community continue to make contributions to the organization so that the overall goal can be met.”
