Manna Community Kitchen is a nonprofit organization providing free, nutritious meals and a welcoming community space for anyone in need. We serve meals throughout the week in downtown Northampton, Massachusetts and work to reduce food insecurity and isolation in our community.

Mondays - Thursdays, our main meal site is at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 48 Elm St. Northampton, MA.

We also serve meals on Fridays at Edwards Church, 297 Main Street, Northampton, MA.

We serve all of our Holiday Meals at Edwards Church.

Everyone is welcome. You do not need to show ID, proof of income, or meet any eligibility requirements. Whether you’re seeking a meal, company, or community connection, Manna is here for you.

Manna has been part of the Northampton community for more than 30 years. We began as a grassroots effort to provide food for our unhoused neighbors and have grown into a vital resource for anyone facing hunger or isolation.

We offer multiple free meals Monday thru Friday each week. You can find our current meal schedule on our Community Meal page.
