Volunteer Guidelines


  • All individual volunteers must be 18 years of age, or older, to work in the warehouse or office.
  • Volunteers under the age of 18 must have an adult supervisor to work alongside of them. We do this for safety reasons.
  • You need to schedule your volunteer time at Manna in advance.
  • Wear comfortable clothes appropriate for warehouse work. Jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers are recommended. You may not wear sandals, flip flops, tank tops, or heels while working in the warehouse.
