The Heart of the City Foundation is celebrating the Twentieth Anniversary of Manna Café by launching the Neighbors with a Heart Campaign. 

Manna Café is an outreach ministry of Broad Street United Methodist Church (BSUMC). For twenty years, Manna Café has served food, fellowship, and love for those in need in downtown Columbus. Over 130,000 meals have been served. 

As a result of this massive fundraising project, The kitchen facility at Broad Street United Methodist Church has received significant updates to provide better options for guests. Manna Café is extremely grateful, and this kitchen renovation was critical to sustaining this important community service. 

Our renovated space is more efficient with separate spaces for food preparation and clean-up, increased storage, updated appliances, improved fire safety, and catering-capable areas.
