Believing that mobility and independence are basic human rights, Project MEND promotes the health and self-sufficiency of people living with disabilities or life-altering illness by providing innovate solutions that assist in overcoming obstacles and barriers.
For 25 years, Project MEND has provided medical equipment for the community’s most vulnerable people. Founded in 1992, Project MEND helps thousands of individuals in need acquire the right tools to overcome or better manage a disability.
Project MEND engages in ongoing outreach and fundraising efforts to ensure program sustainability. Key to our success is developing and maintaining relationships with community partners, keeping informed of the needs of individuals living with disabilities, and strong strategic leadership through a diverse staff and board of directors. 85 cents of every donated dollar is invested back into our community.
Project MEND’s innovative mission continues to impact the attention received from local, state, and national media outlets. Recent recognition from the Newman’s Own and the Christopher & Dana Reeve Quality of Life Awards brought national and international acclaim.
