MEND - Meet Each Need with Dignity

Organization Description

MEND's mission is to meet the immediate needs of individuals and families and strengthen their capacity to thrive. MEND’s programs and services help meet the immediate crisis needs of people, and support them in developing connections, skills and resources to address and overcome long-term challenges that have kept them from thriving. Core services are provided by the Foodbank, Homeless Care Services and Here We Thrive. Deeper case managed services are offered through the Pathways to Wellness Program. We also provide work experience, life skills and support services.
