About Mandy
Mandy Memmel is the founder and executive director of The Well and Hon’s Honey, located in the south east corner of Baltimore, MD. She founded the organization in 2013 after being involved in the community as a mentor and small group leader for over 10 years. Her vision was to provide a safe haven in the community for women to be loved and restored. Now, The Well is a thriving organization and life center offering women community, opportunity and responsibility. Mandy has a nursing background. She was also the co-owner of an interior design business for 12 years. She is the proud mom of 3 adult children, each of whom are actively using their gifts to influence the world around them, and two grandbabies. While raising her children, she led women’s ministry at her church, which paved the way for urban ministry in Baltimore.
She has mentored over 20 women. In 2018, she received an award in Anne Arundel County for “Women Making a Difference” and recently received the GameChanger award through Baltimore Magazine. While she much prefers to give awards to others, she is thankful for the opportunity to make a difference and say “yes” to change, for the broken and wounded of her community.
