Good Evening, my name is Becky Edwards and I am from Trumbull Mobile Meals. I am The Director. This is Barb Petiya and she is our grant writer. First, I would like to apologize for my cell phone. I don’t know what happened I thought I had it on vibrate. Can you hear me?
Multiple yes
Ms. Edwards-
The reason why we are here this evening is we deliver meals in your community. We deliver to Bentley Avenue, Fifth Avenue, Forest Hill, Orchard Avenue and we are in dire need of volunteers. We have come for suggestions. If you have any ideas on how we can get volunteers to help us deliver meals in the community. They do not have to go all the way to Warren to get those meals. We have somebody bring them to the Liberty Administration Building. It is maybe an hour of their time. We work with a local church that provides volunteers two no one day a week I believe.
Ms. Petiya- St. Pat’s Church
Ms. Edwards- We are in dire need of volunteers.
Ms. Petiya- We had a lot of volunteers for Hubbard and we had some go out for health reasons and we have another couple who are in Florida all winter. Now we need drivers for Monday’s and Friday’s. We have nine people in Hubbard that are receiving meals that are shut-ins. We are at a quandary of what can we do? Do you have any suggestions? Is there any way you can help us out?Are there any service groups that could help us?
Ms. Edwards- We reached out to the Rotary here in Hubbard but did not get any results. There was no feedback from the Rotary. We sent out fliers to the area churches.
Mr. Toda- Marianne, could they run some kind of ad from you?
Marianne Hallapy- It is tough because we are trying to find volunteer drivers for our Senior Van. We have had it in the paper. We have put it on our website.
Inaudible
Ms. Hallapy- I think people have an issue with committing themselves.
Ms. Edwards- sure
Ms. Hallapy- Even when you say it is not all the time just hit and miss
Ms. Edwards- It is up to the volunteer how much they want to volunteer.
Ms. Hallapy-right
Inaudible
Ms. Hallapy- I will be more than happy to put it in the paper. We have reached out to the churches as well and the Chaplin’s. I think Lou has a suggestion.
