The volunteers at MEND are the "life blood" of the agency.
In 2010, over 3,200 volunteers gave more than 155,672 hours,
equivalent to over 75 full-time workers.
MEND is committed to remaining a volunteer-driven
organization, so that the donations and income go directly to the
needy recipients. During the 2009-10 fiscal years, administrative and
fundraising costs were 5% of MEND's total revenue. This is
possible only by the utilization of dedicated volunteers who
give of themselves at MEND.
