Glen Motto talks with Debbie Bise, founder of the Southern Manna Soup Kitchen serving Glade Spring each Friday providing free meals, fellowship, and encouragement to individuals, seniors, and those facing food insecurity. Bise discusses the ministry’s weekly free Friday lunches, volunteer support, community donations, and outreach including meals for the homebound and a welcoming, no-questions-asked environment. Bise also outlines the kitchen’s faith-driven mission and her dream that younger volunteers will carry it forward for years to come. She shares how community generosity—and even a donated commercial stove—has sustained the ministry’s growth and impact. A powerful highlight is how God has faithfully provided every need from food and funding to volunteers ensuring no one has ever been turned away in 15 years.
