In Smithers Trailer Park, where darkness reigns, The lost and struggling face their pains, No heat in trailers, blankets thin, Hunger grips as shadows dim. Amidst the cold and desperate plight, Love is the beacon, shining bright, For those who’ve never known its grace, Yearn for its warmth to fill the space. In this place of need and sorrow, Hope shines through each uncertain morrow, Manna Homeless Society gathers, hearts unite, To bring comfort in the darkest night. So today we stand, hand in hand, Reaching out to understand, The lost and weary, seeking solace, Finding love to heal and promise. In Smithers Trailer Park, a light does glow, A testament to love’s endless flow, May warmth and kindness now abound, And in each heart, compassion be found.🙏❤️🕊️🥀 Robin Campbell Manna Homeless Society Donations can be made by e-transfer: mannaparksville@gmail.com Or cheques can be sent to: Manna Homeless Society P.O.

Yesterday in Smithers shantytown, a distressing lack of basic necessities was discovered. The community was found to be deprived of essential resources which we were able to provide such as water, heat, food, and blankets, warm winter coats and all sorts of clothes to keep warm despite the onset of winter. Furthermore, a significant number of individuals were reported to be unwell, with four people lying on the floor in an ailing state. Their sickness was attributed to dehydration resulting from the absence of adequate water supply. Additionally, it was noted that the living conditions were substandard, with the mention of cramped quarters 8ft x 8ft living area in this situation. It pointed to a dire need for immediate intervention and support which we provided for the vulnerable population who live in Smithers shantytown.

Mark from M&N Mattress has not only donated beautiful boxsprings and mattresses to people at risk, but now is presenting Manna with a $1,060.00 cheque and said go buy some tents. Those people at that store love our community.
