Big Green Van

As winter progresses life gets very tough for the homeless and struggling people of Perth. Our amazing volunteers are relentless. Rain, hail or shine they are at a Perth inner city park six evening a week where Manna distributes up to 250 meals each night.

With safety our number one priority for our volunteers and with recent unrest on the rise we have taken action and purchased ‘The Big Green Van’. From this van our volunteers can continue to serve the meals that people so desperately need.

This has not been budgeted for so we are seeking to raise the money for the van and modifications made to get the van ready for the park.

Our goal is $39,500.

We know that together we can achieve great things which is why we are looking for assistance. Can you, your family, your friends and workplace help us? This could be by way of donations and/or spreading the word. Every $ counts and is very much appreciated.

Our goal, with your help is to be able to put signage on the van that reads “Proudly Sponsored by the People of Perth”. This shows the ‘Streeties’ that everyone cares. Of course if a generous company wanted to donate a substantial amount then we can add more names (what a fantastic advertising opportunity). If you would like to know more about the corporate opportunity please contact Nicki at info@mannainc.com.au.

Please spread the word

Thanks

Manna is a caring and compassionate organisation providing hope and dignity to the hungry, lonely and underprivileged of Perth. We believe that by nourishing the homeless and the vulnerable in a non-judgmental and compassionate way, we give hope, raise awareness about poverty and provide better outcomes to the wider community.

From what began as the simple act of feeding a few homeless people in a park, Manna has grown to become one of the largest providers of meals for disadvantaged people here in Perth. Along the way we have seen other needs that we knew had to be addressed and so began our School Breakfast Program, Winter School Uniform program, Special functions for Seniors, as well as food hampers at Christmas time for the homeless and struggling families. The more contact we have with the community, the more we see that there is a greater need for the services we can offer.

Whilst all of these different programs are meeting the physical needs of many people, the greatest gift that Manna gives is a sense of family - love, care, respect, - a smile and hug. For many we come in contact with, from the children right through to the seniors, a hug that comes free of any expectations we have found to be worth more than gold. A relationship is formed and they become part of the Manna family… for many the only family they have right now.
