Corporate-sponsored volunteers come from a wide variety of local businesses and are a integral part of MANNA’s volunteer workforce – however we do schedule  groups in advance as the kitchen can only accommodate one group at a time. Some shifts fill up quickly.  Please reserve early to ensure your desired shift.

CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING:

MANNA takes corporate philanthropy and volunteering to the next level by offering a hands-on corporate team-building experience. Corporate teams come to the MANNA kitchen to nourish the lives of over 1,000 individuals in the Greater Philadelphia area who are battling life-threatening illnesses. This is achieved by chopping, dicing, baking and turning-out client meals in the MANNA kitchen. It is a transformative experience that develops interpersonal group skills that will last a lifetime.

MANNA offers morning, afternoon, evening and full-day team-building opportunities Monday through Thursday in the MANNA kitchen.  Set your group up for success and be among the region’s leaders that are building their teams One Meal At A Time.

The MANNA team-building experience:

• Engages team in new tasks that foster bonds among members
• Team members leave MANNA with a tangible sense of accomplishment
• Experience builds leadership skills within the team
• Breaks down barriers between individuals through group participation and opens the channels of communication, improving morale
• Reinforces concept that a team is more powerful than the sum of its parts
• Individuals combine skills to meet challenges; giving all members a greater sense of ownership and belonging within the group
• Opportunity for staff and management to comingle outside of the office
• Imparts the idea that collectively, through volunteering, neighbors are nourishing neighbors and ultimately strengthening their own communities
