Food Pantries

Based in Orange, NJ, MEND is a united coalition of faith-based food pantries dedicated to combating hunger and providing vital food assistance to individuals and families in crisis throughout Essex County. Our network offers emergency food resources, funds, and connections to social services, ensuring that those in need receive comprehensive support. With a commitment to community welfare, MEND not only supplies essential food through our pantries but also facilitates a forum for collaboration among member organizations, enabling us to serve our neighbors more effectively. We invite those seeking emergency food relief to reach out and learn more about how we can help during these challenging times.
