Everyone has times in their lives when they need some help from others. There is no shame in that. In fact, we believe that people live better lives when we come together to share both our joys and our burdens.
We seek to bridge a bit of that gap with dignity, love, worth, respect, and safety. Our volunteers and guests come from diverse backgrounds and many experience with trauma. We actively strive to be a safe space for everyone.*
Manna Storehouse has been offering food to anyone who needs it since August 2020. We partner with Oz Harvest and currently serve 20+ households, and 3 primary schools each week.
Get Food:
Manna Storehouse is run by volunteers who love helping people. We all have been helped by others at times in life. We are open on Mondays between 3-4 pm. Please send us an email at office@dianellanazarene.org to register and let us know you are coming. 🙂
God loves you. God is for you. God is with you.
Volunteer:
Perhaps you understand the necessity of honouring others with compassion and want to help. Volunteers are always welcome. You can volunteer every Monday, once a month, or even occasionally. Volunteers typically arrive a few hours early to help unload, sort and pack. Please email office@dianellanazarene.org to express your interest and let us know what timeframe works for you.
Donate:
Maybe your schedule or ability makes volunteering a challenge, but you still want to help. Non-perishable items can be donated any Sunday during gathering times (remember that we gather quarterly at different PerthNaz church locations for combined worship and fellowship) or by appointment (to make sure we are at the building to receive them). To arrange a drop-off time, email office@dianellanazarene.org.
Below are desired items for donation:
*A Safe Space:
To ensure that everyone can feel safe, Manna Storehouse has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for intimidating behaviour occurring on the premises.
Anyone displaying intimidating behaviour will be asked to leave immediately and given a 4 week suspension.
- If you refuse to leave, the police will be called.
- If the behaviour occurs a second time, the suspension will be for 3 months.
- A third offence will result in a 6 month suspension.
All acts of intimidation and requests to leave will be recorded in an incident report.
We hope that Manna Storehouse can remain a place of dignity, love, worth, respect and safety for everyone including our volunteers and neighbours. Thank you for your cooperation in making this a reality.
