As part of its year long 45th Anniversary Celebration, Moorestown Ecumenical Neighborhood Development, Inc., a private, nonprofit, housing development organization, recently hosted a Donor Appreciation Event at The Moorestown Community House to honor its long-time donors.
“MEND would not be where it is today if it were not for our supportive donors and board members,” says Matt Reilly, president and CEO of MEND. “Because of their continuous generosity, our past, present and future residents have had and will continue to have the opportunity to live in a “decent, safe, affordable place to call home.”
Founded by several churches in 1969, MEND is a national and state award-winning developer dedicated to providing safe and affordable rental housing to senior citizens, disabled persons, and families of low and moderate income. MEND has developed 718 residential units at 29 locations in the Burlington County region, including Duffy School Apartments located at the historic Marcella L. Duffy Elementary School in Florence and Springside School Apartments in Burlington Township. Over the last four decades, MEND’s affordable housing production efforts have represented a $150 million real estate investment in the region.
