MANNA currently serves clients in the greater Philadelphia region and Southern New Jersey region. The professionalism of MANNA’s facilities, staff and volunteers directly translates into the improved quality of life for the clients MANNA serves.
Sometimes even family members living in the same house are not aware of the client's medical condition. We must preserve the highest respect for our client’s power over who does and does not know of their medical status.
MANNA drivers never disclose any reference to any disease or medical condition while delivering. We respect the privacy of our clients by not mentioning their names or addresses to anyone outside the MANNA community. MANNA has a dedicated fax machine (215-496-9102) that is used exclusively to receive client information.
