Today at MANNA, we celebrated the Annual Steven H. Korman Day of Caring - a day to honor Steven H. Korman, who is a Philadelphia Philanthropist and Chairman of MANNA’s Advisory Board. In celebration of his leadership and dedication to our organization for more than 20 years, Steve was joined by his close friends, family members, and coworkers for a volunteer shift in the MANNA kitchen where they helped to prepare: ✅ 728 chicken noodle soups ✅ 964 Stuffed Flounders ✅ 770 Western Omelettes for our clients battling critical illness. Thank you to everyone who helped make this day so wonderful. We can’t wait for the next one! 💙

I'm very excited to have been selected to serve on the #Coding4Food #MedicallyTailoredMeal Workgroup, led by the Gravity Project, on behalf of MANNA (Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance)! This work group will help to define standard HCPS codes for #MTMs and other #FoodisMedicine interventions, to allow for easier tracking, billing, and evaluation of #FIM interventions, and open the door for full integration into the healthcare system.

We have the BEST volunteers! Thank you Rachel Rothbard from Coldwell Banker and the Jefferson Avenue Insurance & Financial Services LLC for joining us in the kitchen and helping to nourish our neighbors in Philly!

It's a hot start to July!☀️ Come volunteer in our air-conditioned kitchen and help provide medically tailored meals to our neighbors in need! Sign up at mannapa.org/volunteer

Incredible news! We're celebrating the advancement of H.R. 8816, The American Medical Innovation and Investment Act — which contains an updated version of H.R. 6780, the Medically Tailored Home-Delivered Meals Demonstration Pilot Act — to the floor of the House of Representatives. This is a tremendous moment for #foodismedicine and a big step forward in expanding access to Medically Tailored Meals (MTMs) to those who need them! Special thanks to Congressman Dwight Evans and Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick for their bipartisan support and work to move this bill forward.
