Miles for Manna: Supporting Western North Carolina through Manna Food Bank

While disasters across the country have drawn national attention, the ongoing struggles in Western North Carolina have largely been overlooked. This region is still struggling in the wake of Hurricane Helene, and many families are in desperate need of support.

That’s why this summer, Lucien, Jack, and Archie are taking on an incredible challenge: hiking the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, a journey of over 1,100 miles, to raise funds for Manna Food Bank and provide relief to those still feeling the storm’s impact.

Our goal is to raise $50,000, and we need your help.

We are asking our community to sponsor our hike by pledging a per-mile donation. Whether it’s 5 cents, 50 cents, or a dollar per mile, every contribution adds up to meals and resources for those in need.

Why This Matters

Hurricane Helene may not be in the headlines anymore, but its effects are still deeply felt. Families are struggling to rebuild, and many are facing food insecurity as they work to get back on their feet. Manna Food Bank has been a lifeline for these communities, and with your support, we can help them continue their critical work.

How You Can Help

    1.    Pledge a Per-Mile Donation – Choose an amount that works for you, and cheer us on as we make our way across North Carolina.

    2.    Make a One-Time Gift – Every dollar goes directly to Manna Food Bank’s relief efforts.

    3.    Spread the Word – Share our journey with friends, family, and your social networks. The more people who know, the more impact we can have.

Follow Our Journey

We’ll be sharing updates, photos, and stories from the trail; so you can see firsthand the adventure, the challenge, and the difference your support is making.

Western North Carolina hasn’t been forgotten by us, and we hope it won’t be forgotten by you either. Every donation counts, no matter the size.

Thank you for your generosity and support!
