Dianella Church of The Nazarene

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 OzHarvest and currently serve 25+ households, and several educational facilities.

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. 🙂

The coordinator will contact you to discuss arrangements.

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 left at the church office on Sunday mornings or delivered to the church on Monday mornings after 11:00am.  To arrange a drop-off time, it is recommended that you email the church office beforehand on office@dianellanazarene.org     Thank you for your generosity.

Below are desired items for donation:

*A Safe Space:

To ensure that everyone can feel safe, Manna Storehouse has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for any intimidating behaviour, whether that be at the premises, over the phone or through social media. 

Anyone displaying intimidating behaviour at the church will be asked to leave the premises immediately. 

We hope that Manna Storehouse can remain a safe place where there is dignity, love, worth, and respect for everyone including our volunteers and neighbours. Thank you for your cooperation in making this a reality.
