Cedar Creek United
Methodist Church continues to provide a low cost, high
quality food co-op ministry to members of our Church as well
as the surrounding community. For those not familiar with
Manna Food please keep reading..........
First of all, the Manna
Food program is available to anyone wishing to save money on
groceries. The cost of a basic unit is $29. If purchased
at a local grocery store these items would cost considerably
more. The menu changes each month as do the specials. For
example, a special could be a box of 10-8oz rib eye steaks
for a cost of about $18.
Then around the middle
of each month we have our ordering deadline for the month.
Next we compile all of our orders and call in that order to
Manna Ministries in Amarillo, Texas. Typically on the last
Saturday of the month, the refrigerated truck arrives at
CCUMC around 930am at our fellowship hall. Our team members
unload the truck and set up the distribution center. We do
all this as a Ministry to our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ!! He is our Guide in all we do......
We have identified many
families in our community who may not be as fortunate as
others. We are blessed to have many members of our Body of
Christ give pure monetary donations to supply food units to
needy families around us. I cannot thank all of our
volunteers enough!!! Without them we could not provide this
vital ministry. I invite everyone to come see us in action
on one of our distribution days. Maybe even help us!!!
The current month's
menu as well as an order form will always be on this
Website. Menus and order forms are also available in our
Church foyer and at the Child Care Center.
Blessings to all.....
Joe Gambino
