MEND Poverty

For 55 years, MEND has grown alongside the community we serve-and our volunteers have been a meaningful part of that growth.💚

From food distribution to the services we offer, volunteers help make our programs possible and extend our reach across. As community needs evolve, so does the dedication of those who show up to support their neighbors.

A fresh, simple quinoa salad brought to you by our Pathways to Wellness program.🥗

In this program, we focus on helping participants make healthy, practical food choices using ingredients that are accessible-many of which are available through our food distributions. ☺️

Recipes like this one show how easy it can be to turn nutritious ingredients into something flavorful and satisfying.

A special thank you to Nicole, this dedicated Girl Scout, who took the time to collect these donations—turning compassion into action and helping ensure our neighbors have what they need. Your generosity truly reflects what dignity in action looks like.

After seeing MEND from a bus window, Mario made the choice to step off—and it changed everything. 😁

With employment support, placement assistance, and persistence, he found a new beginning with the perfect job, just down the street.

That next step can change everything.
