For 15 years, Rosal and her family received services from MEND. “If MEND did not exist, my family on multiple occasions would have gone hungry,” Rosal shares. During their most difficult times, Rosal and her family knew they could always come to MEND for resources and support. “MEND has always been a pillar in the community. Since the beginning it has prioritized caring for people with dignity and care. I am forever grateful for what MEND has done, what MEND continues to do, and the positive impact it has in the Pacoima / San Fernando Valley.”
