Easter Outreach 2020 postponed
March 18, 2020 by Leave a Comment
Family Meals, Inc. was founded and created with our mission statement at the forefront of our commitment to our community.
Our mission statement: “Provide the ingredients for a holiday home cooked family meal for the working poor, and for families who may not qualify for food stamps or free school lunch programs. Our goal is to create an outreach program to encourage family mealtimes by providing families the tools to get back to the basics; mealtime together.”
Family Meals was not founded to sustain families with food. Families cannot rely daily on the donated food from Family Meals, Inc. The backbone of Family Meals’ focus is to help families understand the importance of sharing family meals.
We only have up to three outreaches each year to make the delivered food special and meaningful. We provide table talk questions and mealtime prayers in our meal bags so families can get to know each other around their tables.
Family Meals’ made the decision to postpone Easter Outreach 2020. We are unable to purchase food to facilitate an outreach. We also have our volunteers’ and our families’ health in mind and would never put anyone at risk or hardship.
When we are safe and can purchase food, we will begin planning our next outreach. We will need your help at that time.
Thank you for your support and thoughtful prayers for our community during these difficult and uncertain times.
Thank you St. Lucie Tire & Battery!

Tribute to Linda Swain
April 14, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Bob & Linda Swain
On behalf of all the volunteers and Board Members of Family Meals, Inc. it is with deep sadness and regret to share with you Linda Swain unexpectedly passed away peacefully in her home, Tuesday, April 10. She was surrounded by her loving family.
When Linda began volunteering with Family Meals, she and her daughter Christy delivered meals. Linda immediately began recruiting drivers, organizing routes, and and quickly solicited many of her family members to help Family Meals. Linda’s participation and commitment has propelled the success of Family Meals, Inc.
Linda’s passion to help others, especially families is unparalleled. She was a silent, but a mighty force. She was always speaking and reaching up for anyone who was struggling and who needed a helpful hand. Linda was everyone’s cheerleader. She will be remembered as a selfless volunteer and leader who always put others before herself.
She was a treasured friend to all of us. We are all heartbroken and deeply saddened.
Please keep Linda’s family and friends in your prayers as we walk this journey together.
Linda’s service is entrusted to All County Sunday April 15
3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
All County Treasure Coast Chapel
1010 NW Federal Highway
Stuart, FL 34994
Celebration of Life will be immediately after the service at Trinity Lutheran Church in Fort Pierce, (trinitychurch4u.com) All are welcome. If you’d like to donate food or can help set up/clean up, please contact Martha Taylor 772-370-0891 .
