Warren Family Mission welcomes Valley for Easter meal
WARREN, Ohio (WKBN)- As we head into the Easter weekend, there are plenty of events happening across the Valley.
Friday is the Warren Family Mission's 27th annual Easter meal, and they are prepared to serve a lot of people both here at the mission and on the road delivering to people's homes.
'People really do want to serve, and it's a tradition for many, in fact, space is limited, we typically have to turn volunteers away because we get that response of people wanting to serve our community, which is really gratifying to see,' said Dominic Mararri of the Warren Family Mission.
The meal is free, and all are welcome to attend. Last Easter, the mission served over 2,300 meals.This year, over 1,600 people have signed up to have a meal delivered to their home, and they're planning on serving at least 400 meals in person at the mission.
'We're just fortunate for our donors, who when we have a need come through, we were lacking hams and lacking food items for our meal and over 200 hams came in and we're just very thankful for our community's generosity in helping needy families this Easter,' Mararri said.
This whole effort takes a lot of help from donors and volunteers. Mariarri said that over 100 volunteers are involved from set up to serving to delivering meals, making the day possible.
In addition to the meal, kids under 12 who come to the mission will get an Easter Basket. The bunny will also be here for photos.
The meal is happening from Noon to 2 p.m., all are welcome to attend

MJ's Motivation: 'Failing forwards vs backwards'
Think about a recent setback you've gone through and ask yourself, 'How did I respond?'Chances are, one of two things happened: You either ran from it, trying to avoid the discomfort or you embraced it, recognizing there was something to is the difference between failing forward and failing others, repeating mistakes or giving up: That is failing taking responsibility, learning from mistakes or building a sense of perseverance: That is failing really comes down to how we respond, not the experience itself. For some, failure accelerates progress acting as fuel. For others it becomes a barrier. We will fail again. Every one of this point on, commit to doing whatever it takes to fail forward.
