I recently had a breakfast meeting at Common Grounds Café with other former board members of Manna on Main Street. The Café supports Manna’s free, 14-week “food service training to employment” program for the economically disadvantaged in our community. To begin, the food was exceptionally good, and plentiful. I and one of my dining partners both took home enough leftovers for another meal. (We both had oatmeal mixed with fruit and nuts.) Chef Lisa also accommodated all of my food concerns (a food allergy, and sodium limits.) However, the great food and service were only part of my reason for being so pleased with my meal. I also appreciated that my breakfast helped support the job training program, to help the trainees become qualified for food service jobs – my “second” meal that day. Finally, I had the opportunity to see the sophisticated pantry and market Manna operates, including software that makes it easier for those whom Manna serves to select their food quickly and efficiently – my “third meal”. A staff member with whom I had worked gave me a tour as a Board alumnus, showing pride in what Manna has accomplished at the North Penn Commons location since my Board term had ended in 2016, when North Penn Commons opened its doors. After I got home, I increased my charitable donation to Manna. I was very impressed not only by its excellent stewardship of financial donations, but also by how sophisticated it has become in distributing the food donated by supporters, to provide it to those in need in our community, “that all may be fed”. When North Penn Commons (the location of Common Grounds Café, and home to four nonprofits opened in 2016, I wrote (paraphrasing Benjamin Franklin) that “North Penn Commons has given Lansdale a community, ‘if we can keep it’”. After my meal and tour, 3 years later, I am pleased that my hopes have been satisfied.
