A local story of lasting impact
Once supported here.
Now serving our community.
When Hunter Mead was a child, his mother received groceries from Manna. He later volunteered with us, joined our staff, and went on to become a Clarksville police officer.
In September 2026, Hunter and Officer Christopher Bush helped rescue a woman from a burning home. Right after the rescue, Hunter texted Vicki York, Co-founder and Director of Ministries:
“Thank you so much for everything that you have done to put me on the path I'm on. I love this job, and Manna was a huge part of why I'm here.”
