Manna

Manna is a food relief charity providing hope and dignity to the hungry, the lonely and the underprivileged community in Perth. From what began as the simple act of feeding a few homeless people in a park, Manna grew to become one of the largest providers of meals to the homeless and disadvantaged people in Perth.

P&N supports one of Manna’s key programs which provides breakfast to disadvantaged kids who would otherwise go without this vital meal. Every week Manna provides food and assistance to over 5,000 students at 50 schools in areas of need throughout Perth.
