It's a blessing to give back to all the families but most importantly the children that MEND helps out during the holidays.

This place is great to get free food and clothing for families. They serve breakfast and lunch while you are there. Its best to get there early because it does get packed and some of the customers have kids that they don't watch close and let run around.Then with the babies crying, its starts to feel like an unruly welfare office. Staff are nice so it offsets the rude, cackling, gossipy old lady customers.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Besides donating clothes, what other items can I donate? Do you accept books, pencils, etc.

Sandra Virag | Sep 7, 2021

I believe at the moment they are accepting mostly food donations. You can go on Amazon and they have a list of needed items that will be sent directly.

Hello, I will be 18 this June and I live a few minutes away from SFV MEND. I wanted to know if there is volunteer work available? And what can be donated? (clothes, food?)

Marie Sorano Klein | Sep 8, 2018
Jav T. | Sep 8, 2018

They're always in need of volunteers, go by their office and apply, they'll be happy to have you and it's a good experience for your adult life in the future, great on resumes, employers look at that always, and if I'm not in the wrong, some employers ask if you have any hobbies or had volunteered experience, you can always add that to the answers, as far as donations, clothing mostly, food, you have to make sure to find out the dates they give it out, that way you can bring up to date food that's not going to go bad in a couple of days. Wish you luck on your future endeavors, thouthfull of you to be looking to service the needs of others. Keep up the great work!

If they want food or clothes they first need to fill out some forms, but you can grab a free breakfast without filling out forms.

I'm only being honest and speaking the truth they've turned away the homeless. They used to be able to get showers there they can't do that anymore. They used to get free dental they can't do that anymore. And clothing also.

Maria Gudino | Sep 7, 2020

Sorry, I do not speak English

Does anybody know what buses I can take to get there from northhills? Nordorf/SEPULVEDA

Kathy “Kitty” Valentino | Sep 8, 2019
Esther Michel | Sep 7, 2020

Unfortunately I think you have to be a local resident or certain areas and once you do go there they want proof of where you live they want IDs it's just a lot of hassle for the little help that you do get and I do mean little. God BLESS Y'all

Irene Tapia | Sep 8, 2019

Why did Olive View give me this number for emergency Dental services and MEND staff call me back, if you aren't taking any more patients... according to the person who answers your phone?

Dawn Dutra | Sep 8, 2018
Dawn Dutra | Sep 8, 2018

Then why is Olive View giving out your number? Shouldn't someone correct that? When you are in pain, and have to hear over and over no services here, its frustrating. I imagine its frustrating fir you guys to have to keep saying no services here.
