🍁🏡 OKTOBERFEST 2026 — THAT’S A WRAP! 🏡🍁 What an incredible day of community, connections, and opportunities! Our annual Oktoberfest Housing Resources Expo was all about bringing people together, breaking down barriers, and connecting DC residents with the resources they need to achieve housing stability, financial empowerment, and homeownership! From engaging workshops and meaningful conversations to valuable resources, food, giveaways, and FUN, the day was a beautiful reminder of what happens when community and collaboration come together! 🙌🏽 A heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible community partners — Building Bridges Across the River, 11th Street Bridge Park, and the DC Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) — for their continued commitment to the communities we serve. Special appreciation to our sponsors, Citizens Bank and JPMorgan Chase, TD Bank and New American Funding for their generosity and support. We remain especially grateful to JPMorgan Chase for believing in our vision as the exclusive founding sponsor of Oktoberfest in 2024! To our exhibitors, volunteers, and the entire Manna team — THANK YOU! Your hard work and dedication helped bring this event to life. And most importantly, to every resident who showed up, asked questions, made connections, and took another step toward achieving their goals — YOU are the reason we do this work! 💜 At Manna, we don’t just talk about making a difference. We change lives, neighborhoods and history! Until next year……. #Oktoberfest2026 #MannaInc #HousingResourcesExpo #HomeownershipMatters #CommunityImpact

What a blessing to be recognized by Influential Women! 💕 I’m grateful for the opportunity to walk in purpose and do work that touches lives. Helping people see homeownership as a possibility and supporting them as they take that journey continues to fill my heart. To my team, community partners, family, friends, and everyone who has encouraged me along the way; THANK YOU! Your love, support, and belief in me mean everything to me! Thank you, Influential Women Magazine for this recognition. I receive it with a grateful heart and renewed commitment to keep serving, opening doors, and making a difference. #Grateful #WalkingInPurpose #InfluentialWomen #WomenWhoLead #DoingGodsWork *I do not own the rights to this music*
