Manna Night at the Pensacola Interstate Fair is Wednesday, October 26. Fairgoers are asked to bring nonperishable food donations to benefit the hungry served by Manna Food Bank in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. In exchange for a donation of three canned-good food items, each person will receive $3 off adult admission all night long.
Manna’s most-needed canned goods are:
- Canned fruit in 100% Juice (20 oz. or less)
- Canned mixed vegetables (16 oz. or less)
- Canned chicken (12 oz. or less)
- Canned tuna (12 oz. or less)
Fairgoers should visit the Manna truck at the main entrance (directly in front of the ticket booth) to make a donation and receive discount coupons. Gates open at 4:00 p.m. on October 26.
The Pensacola Interstate Fair has supported Manna’s mission for several years, with more than 21,000 pounds of food donated – the equivalent of more than 22,700 meals for neighbors in need!
