"Favorite Nonprofit” in Daily News Readers' Choice Awards - Once Again!

August 12, 2025

We are overjoyed to share that MEND has once again been voted Favorite Nonprofit in the Daily News Readers’ Choice Awards! This recognition is a true honor—and it belongs just as much to our incredible supporters, volunteers, and community as it does to us.

Every day at MEND, we work to meet the needs of thousands of individuals and families through food distribution, wellness programs, resources for housing and employment, and compassionate connections that restore dignity. To know that our community sees and values this work means the world to us.

This award is a reminder that when we come together, we can create real and lasting change. Thank you for your votes, your trust, and your commitment to building a stronger, more compassionate community.

We share this honor with every person who has donated, volunteered, advocated, and partnered with us along the way. Here’s to another year of making a difference—together.
