MEND Holds Successful "BEE" the Change Fundraiser

Event Benefits MEND Residents

Over 150 people recently attended MEND’s “BEE” the Change Fundraiser held at The Venue at Lenola in Moorestown. Event proceeds will help MEND continue to keep its affordable housing rentals at below-market levels, thus easing the costs for current and future residents and making it easier for them to afford other necessities like food, clothing and health care.

The fun and lively event featured the musical stylings of DJ Kevin Hart, silent auction, carnival games and delicious food from Georgetti’s Market and Catering. This year’s generous sponsors include Dr. Lucy Rorke-Adams, Dietz & Watson, Global Glass Equipment Engineering, Garrison Architects and MarshMcLennan Agency.

“We’re grateful to all of our attendees, sponsors, advertisers and community partners for making this fundraiser so successful and are overwhelmed by the support and generosity of all attendees. Their support will aid in our mission of providing those in need with an affordable and safe place to call home,” said Eileen Wirth, President/CEO of MEND.
