RESOURCE CENTER

Cycles broken. Families strengthened. Lives transformed.

Manna Resource Center exists to break through barriers to self-sufficiency and mental wellness. Through holistic programs, community connection, and collaborative support, cycles will be broken, families will be strengthened, and lives will be transformed.

Manna Resource Center is a faith-based nonprofit organization that was incorporated to strengthen individuals and families in Douglas and Arapahoe Counties, and the surrounding area through programs that provide holistic care and support in the areas of self-sufficiency, wellness, and family development.

Poverty and homelessness are real issues faced by households in our community. According to the Douglas County 2020 Community Needs Assessment, 29,241 people in the county are considered vulnerable due to the high cost and limited availability of affordable housing. Manna Resource Center exists to provide relief to poor and underprivileged households in our service area through its comprehensive programs.

At the same time, it is estimated that 20% of Colorado residents struggle with mental health conditions and addiction. The 2019 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey reported that almost 31% of Douglas County students experienced a period of greater than 2 weeks during the previous year where they felt sad or hopeless to the point where they stopped doing their daily activities. The greatest barrier to access mental health support is the stigma surrounding behavioral health disorders.

Manna Resource Center has three core programs that accomplish the goal of strengthening individuals and families-Manna Connect, the Family Center of Douglas County, and Manna Community Wellness.
