Anything Else I Should Know About Manna from Heaven?
- Recipients will receive their gift card via email from the grocery store of their choice. Please make sure your email and mailing address is correct. We will not resend gift cards for incorrect addresses or email addresses.
- Gift card recipients will be added to our email list so that they can stay on top of all our upcoming events and updates. Recipients can opt-out at any time.
- Your personal information is used for verification purposes only. We will not sell, rent or share your information with others.
- Do not apply if you do not have a financial need. It will hinder another autistic person who is truly in need.
- Gift card recipients will be contacted via email to share their experience with the program. This helps us learn how we can improve and better serve you. Your responses also help us as we seek donors and grant funds to continue this initiative for autistic persons in need.
