Your suppliers are just four miles away.

Manna Aid holds food, water, power and hygiene for your household in a local depot on high ground, and contracts the drone, boat and off-road crews who can reach you when the road is gone. Stocked before anything happens, not sourced afterwards.

From $34 a month. We are not a substitute for emergency services.

Eight things, in quantities that mean something.

The opened kit laid flat on concrete: two gravity water filters, purification tablets, meal pouches, formula tins, two hygiene kits, a battery bank and lantern, a first aid kit, dog food and an insulated pouch with cold packs

Sized to your household, not to a standard box. A four-person household with a dog and a baby gets a different container to a couple with neither.

No prescription medication. We hold over-the-counter supplies only. If someone in your house depends on a prescription, log it in your plan and we will build the drop and the priority around it, but the medication comes from your pharmacy.

Ridgeline depot, 4.2 miles, 31 feet up.

Distance: 4.2 mi
Above floodplain: 31 ft
Households covered: 240

Depots are sited on high ground, outside the flood model, within a distance a ground crew can cover when the highway is shut. Your container is in one of them now, with your household’s name on it.

We do not fly the drones.

Manna contracts operators who already fly commercially, along with boat crews and off-road teams, and triggers them when your area is cut off. Drones carry the light and urgent things in conditions that allow it, which is a narrower window than most people expect. Most deliveries arrive on wheels.

An off-road utility vehicle driving through shallow water on a flooded rural track — Off-road vehiclePayload 450 kg / range 60 mi / grounded by moving water over 18 in, fire

A small cargo drone with a payload box resting on a marked landing pad — Cargo dronePayload 5 kg / range 12 mi / grounded by wind over 25 kn, closed airspace

Every partner has an operating limit. Wind, water, airspace, fire. When they cannot go, we say so rather than keeping you waiting.

Some conditions make delivery impossible: wind above operating limits, active flooding, closed airspace during a federal response, fire. We attempt; we do not promise arrival.

The road closes.

The household’s status moves to cut off. A check-in prompt goes out, and the plan is confirmed against the container at Ridgeline: 4 people, 1 dog, formula, one refrigerated prescription flagged.

What $34 did, with coordinates.

A sponsored household is stocked and served the same way a paying one is, through relief partners at home and abroad. You get the delivery log, the coordinates and the photographs. You do not get a story about a family, because that is their business and not a marketing asset.

Priced on household size, because that is what determines what we hold for you. Sponsored households are a separate contribution and are not bundled into your subscription, so you are never unsure which one you are paying for. Cancel and we release your container into the general stock.
