Leanne Portzel, Manna Conejo Valley Food Bank

Leanne Portzel, Executive Director of Manna Conejo Valley Food Bank. Manna is situated in the “Old Town” area of Thousand Oaks, and serves, on average, more than 1,400 people per month. With holiday distribution programs, we help over 20,000 people each year throughout the 101 Conejo Valley corridor. Unlike many food pantries, Manna is not formally affiliated with any religious organization, nor are we federally funded in any way. In fact, Manna exists almost entirely on private donations of food and funding.
