Charity's Hope Flooded Out in Montclair
5 Feb
Summary
- A Montclair charity providing meals and resources was flooded by a burst pipe.
- The organization serves over 1,000 unique individuals annually.
- The charity, 'MESH,' needs a new location and financial support urgently.
A burst pipe has severely impacted Montclair Emergency Services for Hope (MESH), a local charity dedicated to assisting the unhoused and food-insecure population. The flood occurred on Wednesday afternoon, filling the ground-floor space with water.
This space, formerly a restaurant and generously provided rent-free by the building owner, had become a vital community hub for MESH over the past three years. It offered meals, a free store, laundry services, and essential resources.
MESH, which serves over 1,000 unique individuals annually with meals six nights a week, now faces an urgent need to relocate. The organization is in its most demanding and expensive period, known as 'respite season,' and requires community support to continue its mission.
