Manna is a chef-prepared meal experience designed to bring thoughtful nourishment, convenience, and beautifully prepared meals into everyday life through weekly home delivery, postpartum support, and private dining experiences.
Deliveries are made every Monday and Wednesday between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM. You'll receive text message updates with your estimated delivery time, as well as a notification once your order has arrived.
Always fresh—never frozen. Every meal is prepared fresh, flash-cooled to preserve quality and freshness, then carefully packed in insulated coolers with ice packs before being delivered to your door.
We source high-quality ingredients, prioritize hormone-free proteins, avoid seed oils whenever possible, and create fresh weekly menus designed to accommodate a variety of tastes, dietary preferences, and common allergens. Our standards are simple: we want to feel good about everything that goes into our food. We use organic produce and carefully source our proteins, with a strict list of ingredients we simply won't use. It's the same philosophy Melissa has always followed when cooking for her own family—start with good ingredients, leave out what doesn't need to be there, and never sacrifice flavor.
Our standard portion is designed to generously serve one adult. For children, one portion will typically serve two younger children, depending on their age and appetite. This guideline applies to our soups, mains, and sides. Our cakes serve approximately eight guests. If you’re ordering several mains or sides for a gathering, we recommend adding a few extra portions. This gives everyone more freedom to try different dishes—and makes sure there’s enough of the favorites to go around.
Our meals arrive in reusable glass containers, making them easy to heat and serve. Most meals can be warmed in a 375°F oven for 20–30 minutes, depending on portion size. For a quicker option, simply remove the lid and heat in the microwave. Specific heating instructions are provided when needed.
Browse each week's menu on our website and place your order before the cutoff for the following week's deliveries. Depending on your selections, meals are delivered on Monday, Wednesday, or both. At your next delivery, we'll collect your reusable cooler and glass containers, making the process simple and sustainable.
