Excerpt from the MANNA Community Winter Walk Prayer:
We walk because the people must stand together
We walk because our community gives us strength
We walk because there is a need to raise awareness
about the truth of the unhoused
We walk because it helps the community
We walk because we demonstrate a tangible commitment
to an important ideal
We walk to change hearts
We walk because we care
We walk because we’ve been there
We walk because we understand what it means to be without a bed
and without a home
We walk because the needs of the unhoused must not be hidden
We walk for freedom
We walk because unity is needed at all times
We walk because we need to keep moving on
