On behalf of the MEND staff, volunteers, and clients we serve I would like to personally thank you for posting the article entitled “Tribute to California Senator Alex Padilla “ that recently featured MEND on the reelpolitik.org . We sincerely appreciate the publicity as it informs potential clients about our services, attracts new volunteers, and rouses the attention of potential donors.

As you know, there has recently been an upsurge in the number of families who are in need of gifts to give to their children, such as clothes and toys; accordingly, MEND has experienced unprecedented growth in the terms of requests for assistance. Considering this, we deeply appreciate the exposure in The Free Library as it spreads awareness and adds momentum to our endeavor to break the bonds of poverty faced by the less fortunate in our community.

Thank you for your support of MEND’s efforts to empower families in the Northeast San Fernando Valley. Your efforts help us accomplish our mission to Meet Each Need with Dignity.
Warm regards,
Marianne Haver Hill
President and CEO
