The Manna Gala

The Manna Gala is back! Join us on June 19 at the Bay Harbor Yacht Club for an incredible evening of fundraising and community.

Manna is excited to bring the second annual gala event back to Bay Harbor. Featuring live music by the Owen James Trio, this fun evening will begin with cocktail hour overlooking Lake Michigan followed by a live auction and a delicious dinner from the culinary team at Bay Harbor Yacht Club. This is an opportunity to become well acquainted with the Manna Board of Directors and staff, as well as raise funds to support the Food 4 Kids Backpack Program, which keeps food insecure children in pre-k and elementary schools fed and fueled for success.

On average, one in five children in Michigan are at risk of hunger. In some of our own communities, that number is much higher. At Charlevoix Elementary School, one in four kids are in need of the backpack program. For the East Jordan Elementary School, 53% of their students receive these weekend meals. In more rural school districts, all of the students are given backpacks to ensure no child goes hungry over the weekend. In 2024, the Manna Food Project distributed a record number of over 64,000 backpacks.

Help us fight hunger! Tickets include cocktail hour, a three-course dinner, and open bar.
