Mana Nutrition

We’re honored that @cnn ’s Champions for Change featured Mana and our co-founder, Mark Moore. Mark’s journey is a reminder that service, when imbued with love, can change the world. But this recognition isn’t just about one person or one company. It belongs to farmers, factory teams, aid workers, donors, and every mother who turns these peanut butter packets into hope for tomorrow. The full one-hour primetime special hosted by Dr. Sanjay Gupta airs Saturday, September 13 at 10pm ET/PT, on CNN.

Hunger is humanity’s oldest foe. History shows that adequate nutrition has always been the first step to a thriving society. At Mana, we’re using Georgia-grown peanuts to provide lifesaving medicine for malnourished children around the world. We are all connected, in service and in love. 🥜🌍❤️

A mother’s love may be the most powerful force in the world. Steady and sacrificial, yet endlessly generative. Mana is an acronym for Mother Administered Nutritive Aid. We know the best way to treat a child on the brink of death is to give the person who cares most the lifesaving tools to do so. Today we honor the women who nourish life in seen and unseen ways. Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Mana. 💛 Photos from the Moroto Regional hospital in Uganda. 📷 by @bobmillerstudio for @1504.co .

“What’s more American than feeding the world with Georgia peanuts?” -Jason Dunn 🥜🇺🇸 Rural America is often stigmatized, but spend time in Fitzgerald, Georgia, and you’ll see something else entirely. You’ll see a community that shows up for each other. You’ll find ingenuity, resilience, and compassion. And the peanuts grown here become life-saving food for children around the world. 🌍 We’re proud to call Fitzgerald home because of people like Jason. That’s why we awarded him the George Washington Carver Nourishment Award at last year’s ManaFest.

As a hospital nutritionist, one of Teddy’s daily tasks is in charge of coordinating, preparing, and distributing F75, a low-protein therapeutic milk supplement given to patients who are suffering from severe acute malnutrition but are not yet able to receive RUTF. Teddy describes F75 as a "starter formula," explaining the transition process to avoid refeeding syndrome. "We do appetite testing to see if they can tolerate RUTF, which is high in both protein and calories. When we discharge, a child is supposed to go home with RUTF, so we have to prepare them for that." She counts out loud as she measures formula in powder form, adds water and stirs, then begins calling names as she pours the appropriate amount for each patient into small plastic cups. "For this job, I applied as a cook. Even in nutrition we need cooks because sometimes F75 and RUTF are not here, so we have to prepare them locally," she explains. Along with ensuring patients get the correct dosage of F75 each day, helping children work up to receive RUTF, Teddy helps educate mothers and families on how to best prepare foods to nurture their children, though explains it is difficult when families simply do not have enough to eat.

This year, we’re thankful for Betty Farrie. ❤️ At 73 years young, Betty is one of our most beloved team members. Each day, she arrives at the Mana factory in Fitzgerald, Georgia, ready to give her best, knowing that the work of her hands will help feed a child halfway across the word. So at this year’s ManaFest, we honored Betty with the Nourishing the Spirit award as part of the George Washington Carver Nourishment Awards. 🏆 May we all strive to be more like Betty, caring for our family, community, and the world. 🎥 by @hamiltonmcafee and @1504.co

In November, we hosted ManaFest, a free community event in Fitzgerald, Georgia, where our employees, community members, business leaders, and culture bearers gathered for a day of gratitude, celebration, and nourishment. We packed a lot into a single day, including a prayer walk, volunteer opportunities, yoga flow, a rural innovation forum, an art class, a film screening, and a block party with live music! And peanut butter tastings with @helpgoodspread ! 🥜 And while this day was special for many reasons, it also felt completely... ordinary. This is the Mana Village on full display, in service to a greater good that drives us in our work every day. Just like everything we do at Mana, this day wouldn’t have been possible without the support of many, and we just wanted to say thank you. We wouldn’t be here without you. Special thanks to: @thesecretsisters for live music, @1504.co in collaboration with @hamiltonmcafee for the film, Nourishing Love, and to the many Fitzgerald community leaders who helped us host this celebration and to the entire Fitzgerald community for welcoming us with open arms. 🎥 by @evanpiercefilm 📷 by @evanwoodrum 🎨 by @samrich.co Here's to another great year! 🧡

🎉GOOD SPREAD IS BACK!🎉 From the start, our mission has been simple: to help good spread 🧡 Today, in light of rising food insecurity and recent threats to SNAP benefits, we are re-introducing Good Spread to serve a critical need. Peanut butter is one of the most requested items for food banks, so over the last month, we have sent over 500,000 jars of Good Spread to food banks across America. 🇺🇸 And now, for the first time in years, we are opening a small batch for our loyal friends and supporters. If you’re reading this, that means YOU! And of course, when you buy a jar, we will send a packet of lifesaving packet of Mana to a malnourished child globally. Through our partnership with @mananutrition , all profits feed kids. 🥜 Maybe you supported our first crowdfunding campaign 14 years ago, bought a jar at a grocery store, met us in our winnebago or helped us hitchhike across the country. However you showed up, thank you. 🚌✨ If you’ve missed us, this is your chance to grab a jar and be a part of our next chapter with @mananutrition . We have a lot in store for 2026! Buy a 2-pack on our new website, , designed by @nightswim_studio . Brand by @samrich.co 🔗 in bio! Thank you for helping good spread — then, now, and always. 🧡 #helpgoodspread

Recently for @mananutrition in collaboration with @1504.co Mana is an acronym for mother administered nutritive aid, and they manufacture a simple yet highly effective therapeutic food that’s prescribed to malnourished children all over the world, to bring them back from the brink. This organization is doing incredible work, and today that work is being celebrated in rural Fitzgerald, Georgia where the therapeutic food is produced. To all the peanut farmers, the distribution partners, to the healthcare workers abroad who show up every day to a tough job, and to my new friends in Fitzgerald who keep the mana plant running, thank you. Your work matters. Last slide is a follow up message I received via WhatsApp from the mother of a sick child, who was receiving care at Moroto Referral Hospital in northern Uganda while I was there. #rutf #uganda
