Increasing demands bring increasing pressures on Manna’s already limited budget. To be better prepared for the year ahead, by raising much needed funds, we are holding our first community sleep out known as “Homeless for a Night”.
“Homeless for a Night” is a unique fundraising event where you, your family 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 “The Spirit of the Streets Choir” and some of these inspirational people will also share their stories on the street. Bev and John (the founders of Manna) will also be speaking.
