URGENT PLEA from Manna Homeless Society: Help Keep Our Neighbors Dry This Rainy Season

As the dark clouds gather and the first heavy rains begin to fall, our hearts break a little more each night. Here at Manna Homeless Society, we’ve been out on the streets of our city, side by side with those who call the sidewalks and underpasses home. These are our neighbours—fathers, mothers, veterans, and youth—who face the unrelenting downpour with nothing but thin layers and weary spirits. Without proper shelter, they’re soaked to the bone, shivering through endless nights that steal their warmth and dignity. We’ve handed out what blankets and tarps we can, but the cold, wet reality is hitting harder than ever.
Right now, we need your help to wrap our community in comfort. We’re urgently calling for gently used or new sweatpants and hoodies in all sizes—men’s, women’s, and children’s. These simple items aren’t just clothes; they’re shields against the storm, a reminder that someone cares, and a chance for restful sleep instead of endless chills.
If you can spare even one pair of sweatpants or one hoodie from your closet, it could change a life this season. Drop-offs are welcome at our center or reach out to coordinate a pickup. Every donation fuels our mission to meet people where they are—with compassion, supplies, and hope.
Together, we can turn the tide on this rainy despair. Thank you for being the light in our community’s storm. Let’s show our unhoused friends they’re not alone.
With deepest gratitude,
The Manna Homeless Society Team
