adminPen Air partners with Manna and first responders to collect 34,707 pounds of food
On June 27, Manna Food Pantries announced the results of the second annual Donut Strike to “arrest hunger” in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. The strike resulted in the equivalent of 34,000 lbs of food or 26,030 meals collected during the three-day drive held June 20-22 at local grocery stores.
In the spirit of Communerosity, Pen Air joined the efforts again to arrest hunger with a donation of $5,000 towards the 30,000 pounds goal.
The Donut Strike came together as a joint effort of the Pensacola Police Department, Escambia County Sherrif’s Office, Pensacola Fire Department, Escambia Fire Rescue, local businesses, and the community to turn hunger into hope. With a front row view of hunger and the impact that it has, first responders vowed to put the donuts down and do something to help, and the community stood behind their efforts.
“We understand that hunger is a real problem and we are humbled to stand in the gap with Manna to be a part of the solution and enhance lives,” said Stu Ramsey, President/CEO of Pen Air. “We are passionate about turning hunger into hope, and doing our part to ensure that our neighbors have the most basic need – nourishment.”
