Manda has supported numerous charitable organizations over many years.
Manda has been a part of the Baton Rouge community since 1947.
South Louisiana culture relies heavily on good food as the centerpiece for any gathering. What better way to bring together the community you love than with the classic staple of parties, tailgates, and fundraisers alike – a steaming bowl of jambalaya.
Perfect yours with tips, tricks and recipes from the Manda kitchen.
Each year we participate in several fundraisers and otherwise support numerous charitable organizations in the Greater Baton Rouge area.
Boys and Girls Club of Greater Baton Rouge
Manda reps have served as a past board member, chairperson, and current board member for over twenty years. The company holds the annual John A. Manda, Jr. Memorial Golf Classic, for which all proceeds go to this organization empowering the children of our community “to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.”
Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center
Manda is a significant financial sponsor of the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center’s signature annual golf tournament, the Merrill Lynch Open, to help them continue their mission of “improv[ing] survivorship and lessen[ing] the burden of cancer through expert treatment, compassionate care, early detection, research and education.”

Manda contributes to the annual Kiwanis Pancake Festival, which is held at LSU’s Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
