Based in West Orange, NJ, MEND is a dedicated coalition of faith-based food pantries across Essex County, committed to combating hunger through urgent food assistance. We strive to support individuals and families facing food insecurity by providing emergency food supplies and essential resources, including social services referrals and volunteer opportunities. Our unified approach ensures that each pantry member plays a vital role in delivering compassionate care and effective solutions to those in crisis. We encourage our community to stay informed about pantry schedules and operations, especially during challenging times, as we work together to build a healthier, nourished community.
