MEND's Evening of Celebration and Gratitude

Join us at The Newark Club to honor Rich Durante, President and COO, Kings Food Markets, and the Essex County Kings Food Markets for their invaluable support of Meeting Emergency Needs with Dignity. There are opportunities for event sponsorship and advertising in our ad journal. Tickets are $125 for cocktails & buffet dinner, live music, and gorgeous views of the NYC skyline. MEND is the oldest and largest interfaith network of food pantries in Essex County, including local pantries Our Lady of Sorrows and St Joe\'s. Since 1980, more than 1.6 million neighbors have passed through our doors to feed their families. In 2015 alone, MEND pantries served 111,000 individuals.
