Manna believe that by nourishing the homeless and the vulnerable in a non-judgemental and compassionate way, we give hope, raise awareness about poverty and provide better outcomes to the wider community.
For the past 19 years we have been preparing and distributing meals to the homeless and disadvantaged in Perth. The sad news is that the number of homeless are growing and times are getting tougher for many. It is vital that we can meet the growing demands on our services.
“Homeless for a Night” is a unique fundraising event where you, your family, friends and your work colleagues can get involved by “sleeping out” to experience what it may be like to be homeless. By attending this event, and fundraising if you wish to, you will be making a huge difference to the lives of others who are less fortunate.
Entertainment will be provided by “Starlight Hotel Choir” and some of these inspirational people will also share their stories about being on the street. Bev and John (the founders of Manna) will also be sharing their story and we are very excited that Phil Walley-Stack will be our MC for the evening.
