Manna Partnerships
Community partnerships are essential to our work at MANNA because they foster collaboration and collective action, bringing together diverse resources, expertise, and perspectives to address local challenges. By establishing strong relationships and pooling our strengths, we are able to work alongside our community partners to maximize impact, amplify our community members’ voices, and create meaningful change in the city of Boston.
Partner Parishes
For 40 years, MANNA has been fed by our faithful parish partners who prepare and deliver a hot meal every Monday for our community. Each week a different parish partner delivers a well-rounded home cooked meal to serve people experiencing homelessness in Downtown Boston. Often members of the sponsoring parish will help serve the meal at the Cathedral which helps nourish our relationship with those who work so hard to keep us fed. Even during COVID, our partners faithfully delivered a hot meal every Monday which felt like a miracle! We are enormously grateful to St. Michael’s Milton, Christ Church Needham, Trinity Church Concord, All Saints Brookline, and St. John’s Newtonville for all the ways they nourish and feed us. Thank you!

Winter Walk
MANNA has been a participant in the Winter Walk since its inception in 2017 as walkers and fundraisers. We have recently become a formal partner of the Winter Walk. The MANNA community has been involved in the opening ceremony as singers and speakers, providing messages from the BACHome Council and other members of the community. In 2022 the MANNA Community wrote and presented a community prayer for the walk in collaboration with common cathedral.
