Good Deeds Week Manna Food Drive

Saturday, April 10, 2021 28 Nisan 5781

12:00 PM - 9:00 AM 2 weeks afterBJC -Parking Lot Greentree Rd. Entrance

BJC is joining with the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington’s Sara & Samuel J. Lessans Good Deeds Week.* Over 60 partners and thousands of participants across DC, MD, and Northern VA will work to address the year-round problem of food insecurity. Join us as we fill the shelves of local food pantries, feed those who are hungry, and make a difference all week long. For our project, BJC will once again collect food for Manna. Can we do as well as we've done in the past or can we do better?

From Saturday, April 10 – Sunday, April 25, BJC has three blue bins on the church-side parking lot in the yellow area. The bins are unattended, and you can drop off food at any time. Here’s a quick list of what foods Manna needs most:

Grains: instant oatmeal packets, original flavor; brown rice; whole grain pasta

Protein:  tuna, salmon, or chicken in water; dry or canned beans (low sodium), natural nut butters

Fruits & Vegetables: canned vegetables (low sodium), canned fruit (in juice), fruit cups

Other Healthy Items: shelf-stable, individual milk boxes; cooking oils and spices; instant formula & baby needs.

Please note: Manna cannot accept opened packages, nor food beyond its expiration date.
