What TRUMBULL MOBILE MEALS, INC. does

Trumbull Mobile Meals, Inc. (TMM) is a 501c3 nonprofit community agency founded in 1970 by Jean Schlecht and Pat Venetta with the Trumbull Co. Medical Society Alliance, headquartered at 323 E. Market Street, Warren, Ohio. The organization provides home-delivered, registered dietician-approved meals to home-bound seniors and individuals in Trumbull County who are unable to secure or prepare a daily nutritious meal due to limited mobility, illness, frailty, or lack of transportation. Service runs Monday through Friday with weekend provisions available for those needing additional help.

The core offering is a Dietary Assistance Program delivered via 28 daily delivery routes spanning approximately 350 miles across the county. Subscribers may enroll in 5-day or 7-day weekly programs receiving one or two hot and/or cold meals per day, with diet-specific options (regular, renal, diabetic-friendly/low fat and salt) and special preparations including chopped, mechanically ground, and pureed. A 4-week rotation menu provides variety, and delivery is executed by ~40-45 daily volunteers using 60 hot/cold insulated bags. No age restrictions apply, opening the program to post-illness or post-injury recovery clients.

TMM is supported by a 14-person paid staff (CEO Audrey Novotny, Food Service Manager, Financial Bookkeeper, Marketing Coordinator, Volunteer Coordinator, Head Cook, and others) and a 250-350 person volunteer force contributing 58,500 hours annually (~$1M imputed value). Revenue is generated through a mix of subsidized monthly client meal payments (with EBT and financial assistance accepted), individual donations and bequests, corporate sponsorships via the $500/year Adopt-a-Route program, annual event fundraising (18th Annual Golf Outing, Giving Tuesday), and grants from Trumbull County Senior Levy, Warren Community Block Grant, First Energy Foundation, and United Way of Trumbull County. The organization is a member of Meals on Wheels America and United Way of Trumbull County, and is governed by a 19-member board of directors.

Others

• Area Agency on Aging 11: The Area Agencies on Aging are regional public/private organizations that coordinate services for older adults, often including congregate and home-delivered meal programs. They are ecosystem peers because they fund, refer to, and sometimes operate similar services to TMM within their respective regions.

Direct peers

• Project Angel Food: Project Angel Food is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that prepares and delivers medically tailored meals to people facing critical and chronic illnesses, including seniors. It is a direct peer because of the analogous nonprofit meal-delivery model serving home-bound, often low-income clients with condition-specific diets.
• Mom's Meals (Purfoods): Mom's Meals is a leading direct-to-consumer home-delivered meal service focused on seniors and individuals with chronic conditions, offering medically tailored meals (diabetic, renal, low-sodium). It is a direct peer because it serves the same home-bound senior customer with prepared, condition-specific meal delivery, though at national scale rather than single-county.
• God's Love We Deliver: God's Love We Deliver is a New York-based nonprofit that provides home-delivered, medically tailored meals to people living with serious illnesses including seniors. It is a direct peer because it operates a similar nonprofit model of volunteer-supported, condition-specific meal delivery to home-bound individuals.
• Open Hand Atlanta: Open Hand Atlanta is a Georgia-based nonprofit that provides home-delivered, medically tailored meals to seniors and individuals with chronic conditions. It is a direct peer because of its comparable nonprofit, volunteer-assisted model delivering prepared meals to clients in their homes with dietary customization.
• MANNA (Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance): MANNA is a Philadelphia-area nonprofit providing home-delivered, medically tailored meals to individuals facing serious illness and seniors in the greater Philadelphia region. It is a direct peer because it uses a similar nonprofit, volunteer-supported model to deliver nutrition services to home-bound clients with dietary needs.

Broad incumbents

• Meals on Wheels America: Meals on Wheels America is the national membership organization for senior meal delivery programs. TMM is a member affiliate. It is a broad incumbent because it sets standards, advocates, and coordinates a national network of local programs like TMM, but does not itself directly deliver meals to end clients.

Emerging players

• Silver Cuisine by BistroMD: Silver Cuisine is a direct-to-consumer prepared meal subscription service from BistroMD focused on seniors with dietary restrictions (diabetic, renal, low-sodium, heart-healthy). It is an emerging player because it competes on the same home-delivered senior meal space but operates commercially rather than as a community nonprofit.
