Manna Café
Clarksville, TN – If you were to walk down the street and ask every person you saw what their dream was, they would have something to tell you. No matter how big or small, everyone has a dream.
For Kenny York, Founder and CEO of Manna Café, that dream has been a community of people who share the same mission: to meet the needs of homeless and low-income families in Montgomery County. After many years of waiting, that dream will finally become a reality.
Manna Café’s Kenny York and Victoria York in front of property that will become The Manna Village.

Art Experience kicked off Riverfest Thursday night
September 9, 2016
Clarksville, TN – Riverfest Art Experience was a feast for the senses Thursday night. Celtic music by Red River Breeze enticed visitors to drift and dream, and maybe dance a little jig while munching on cheese, grapes, punch and some of the yummiest brownies on the planet.
There were paintings, drawings, photography, multi-media to please almost everyone. I spoke with Brianah Summons about her painting of her favorite animals which included a tiger, a wolf, and a horse all in brilliant colors and could have easily reminded one of carousel animals. Brianah was accompanied by her mother, Cordelia Marroquin who is, I’m sure, the Kenwood High School Senior’s best supporter.
Brianah Summons won 1st place in the High School Art Show with her painting of animals.
