...Ernesto says that the program has been a blessing and that the process was easy. He said, “When I walked into the door, the staff made me feel like ‘we can help you.’ I left that day with bags of food and clothing. MEND has helped me big time.” Like manyof MEND’s grateful recipients, Ernesto hopes to give back to MEND by volunteering. “The people at MEND have a good heart, and they really pay attention,” Ernesto said. “I would recommend MEND to anyone who needs help. I wasn’t afraid to ask for help, and if I can go in and ask for help, anyone can.”
REFRIGERATED TRUCK IS “COOL!”
Congratulations to the Food Department for receiving a much needed refrigerated truck! This special purchase was made possible by a grant from the Universal Studios Discover A Star Foundation. According to Gina Mirabella, Food Department Director, “This truck was essential for the Food Department because we have to transport donated, refrigerated food at a certain temperature.” Gina maintains the highest level of standards in her department, and with the new truck, MEND can continue to deliver only the freshest food to its clients. Thanks, Universal, for making the MEND Food Department so “cool!”
