Who We Are
**GROUP VOLUNTEERS ONLY**
With dignity and respect, MEND’s mission is to meet immediate needs of individuals and families and increase their access to opportunities that strengthen their capacity to thrive.
By becoming a GROUP volunteer at MEND, you will have the opportunity to be part of a great organization that prides itself with being one of the best public service establishments in the San Fernando Valley.
What We Do
MEND’s Community Nourishment Programs (CNP) feed hundreds of thousands of food-insecure people per year through a Food Pantry (direct distribution), Food Bank (distribution to partners), Buen Provecho farmers market (self-selection of fresh fruit/vegetables) and Little Health Market (food options for people with chronic health conditions). In 2022, this combination of food services put 3.2 million lbs. of food in the hands & homes of poor Angelenos, translating to 2.6 million nutritious meals. Those using our food services are low-income families with children, indigent seniors and people who are homeless.
