2026 Food Drive
Throughout the month of May, Level Up Gaming is partnering with Manna Food Pantry of Pensacola to collect food for distribution to families in need throughout our community.
Level Up Gaming is accepting donations of food to support MANNA in their effort to feed Pensacola families from May 1 through May 31, 2026. There will be a collection point in the store to receive donations. Throughout the month of May, the store will host events and tournaments where the entry “fee” is food, or entry fees will be used to purchase food. Anyone desiring to organize an event to support this effort is encouraged to do so. We will deliver the food collected to Manna Food Pantry of Pensacola on Monday, June 1.
Manna is a local grassroots organization fighting hunger in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. They provide groceries directly to individuals and families in need. Their services are all offered free of charge. Manna receives no government funding and has no national affiliation. Most of their funding comes from individuals, foundations, faith-based organizations, corporations, and businesses. Manna is nonsectarian, community focused and volunteer supported. They believe every person has a right to live free of hunger and to be treated with respect and dignity.
