Pensacola, FL (March 28, 2019) – Harvesters Federal Credit Union will partner with Manna again this year for Let’s Feed Somebunny 2019. Harvesters’ Safari Bus will be stationed at Cordova Mall – A Simon Mall, between Chili’s and Red Lobster, on April 12 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Donations collected during the event will support Manna pantries and programs in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties to assist neighbors in need.

The community is asked to bring donations of food and financial gifts. All donations may be dropped off at the Harvesters’ Safari Bus.

“We’re so thankful for our friends at Harvesters Federal Credit Union for hosting Let’s Feed Somebunny again this year,” said DeDe Flounlacker, Executive Director of Manna. "As a local grassroots non-profit organization, we depend on the generosity and compassion of our community to provide hope to our neighbors in need.”

Since 2013, Let’s Feed Somebunny has raised 8,449 pounds of food, the equivalent of more than 6,325 meals for the community.

“This is our fifth year we’ve partnered with Manna Food Pantries for our Let’s Feed Somebunny campaign. Harvesters takes great pride reaching out and helping people in our community and surrounding areas through this worthy cause,” said Robin Arnold, Community Outreach Chair of Harvesters Federal Credit Union. “We look forward to working together with Manna and hope to have a great turnout, as we’ve done so in the past.”
