Tribute to Linda Swain

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 .

Easter Outreach 2018
February 27, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Family Meals, Inc. is getting ready for their Easter Outreach 2018 and we need your help. We will deliver meal ingredient food bags on Saturday, March 24 beginning at 7:00 in the morning at Trinity Lutheran Church (trinitychurch4u.com) Fellowship Hall. We need lots of help.
If you are available to help unpack, pack, set up the distribution room at the church, sort potatoes, and help wherever needed either Friday, March 23 beginning at 1:00 and/or Saturday, March 24 beginning at 7:00 until noon, please sign up here: https://www.volunteersignup.org/YC3DE
If you want to deliver our meal bags to families, please let us know by emailing
familymealsdrivers@gmail.com. You need a driver’s license and current auto insurance and will be asked to provide a copy of both. You also need a partner to help you. We never ask you to deliver to an area you feel unsafe. It is against our policy to deliver to anyone you know .
Statistics show children of families who share family meals have better grades, higher self-esteem, lower substance abuse, lower risk of depression, lower risk of eating disorders, lower rates of obesity and have a sense of belonging. Simply sharing a family meal is the “magic bullet” families are looking for!
Family Meals’ volunteers are committed to showing families the importance of sharing a family meal. Family Meals, inc is not a food handout or a food pantry organization. Family Meals, Inc. is a 100% volunteer nonprofit, with no paid staff. If you can help us make a difference in our community, please let us know. We need you and encourage your suggestions and concerns.
This past Thanksgiving 2017 Family Meals, Inc. helped over 2,000+ families along the Treasure Coast! Family Meals, Inc. was launched in 2012. In 2012 we helped 20 families. We’re humbled by your support.
Many local businesses are hosting food drives to help us off-set our food expenses. Please check our facebook page for additional locations or look for our food drive signs and donate generously. www.facebook.com/events/175658403211849
