One of our first programs, Manna for Many, was developed as a result of the need for food amongst many of the elderly of Washington, DC. In October 2003, JOSHUA Foundation volunteers began delivering non-perishable food items to elderly and disabled residents in Washington, DC. At first, the recipients consisted of a small group of people. However, as connections were made and word began to spread, our Manna for Many participants increased. As a result, over 17,000 meals have been supplemented through Manna for Many.

The purpose of Manna for Many is two fold:
• To provide non-perishable food items to needy elderly and disabled persons living in the District of Columbia. And,
• To spread the good news of Jesus Christ to all of those who will hear.

The JOSHUA Foundation endeavors to improve the nutrition of undernourished elderly and disabled District of Columbia residents. Those eligible for participation in the Manna for Many program:
