Esther Reaves, who once served as executive director of the Midtown Churches Community Association, devoted her life to Baltimore's neediest. Esther drove a giant red 1970 Cadillac Coupe deVille to pick up groceries and supplies for Manna House, the soup kitchen she directed in midtown Baltimore. When the association opened Manna House for daily meals at Calvert Street and North Avenue, people flocked to it. AdvertisementOnce, when asked why people keep coming to Manna House, she said, “They’re poor.”That might seem simplistic or an excuse for someone’s lack of ambition. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for a donation to Manna House in Esther’s good name.
