MEND repurposed a donated school bus into a healthy food collection vehicle and mobile food pantry.

Our “Green Bean” collects and distributes more fresh and healthy foods across Essex County. It serves as a mobile pantry to support our food pantry network and underserved communities, and is available to businesses, schools, libraries, and community groups for “stuff the Bean” food drives.

MEND partnered with the Junior League of the Oranges and Short Hills on this project in the Spring of 2018.
