TRUMBULL MOBILE MEALS

Trumbull Mobile Meals is a non-profit (501c3) community-based agency founded in 1970 by Jean Schlecht and Pat Venetta, with the help of fellow members of the Trumbull Co. Medical Society Alliance. Trumbull Mobile Meal’s goal is to make sure that the real face of hunger will fade away for those who are limited in mobility, ill/frail and home-bound. There is a large segment of our community that are wheelchair bound, use walkers and canes, are too ill to prepare a meal, or do not have the resources to drive to a congregate meal site or food distribution centers. We are dedicated to providing home-delivered meals to those within Trumbull County, Ohio, who are unable to secure or prepare a daily nutritious meal. It started with just one client, and then increased to two when his neighbor told Jean Schlecht that since we had fed his neighbor for two weeks and had not poisoned him, he would take our meals too. We now service 80,000 meals a year and have about 300 amazing volunteers. TMM serves approximately 280 clients 310 meals daily, Monday through Friday, and provides weekend meals for those who need additional help. It is our goal to provide registered dietician approved nutritious meals to those in need, help individuals remain self-sufficient in their own homes, and provide assistance during recovery following an accident or illness.
