Warren Family Mission welcomes Valley for Easter meal
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

Watch: Texas chicken named world's oldest at the age of 14
Aug. 12 (UPI) -- A Texas woman's pet chicken was officially named the oldest in the world by Guinness World Records at the age of 14 years and 69 days old. Little Elm resident Sonya Hull said she hatched the chicken, Pearl, in her personal incubator on March 13, 2011. Guinness World Records confirmed Pearl's age on May 22, officially earning her the title of world's oldest living chicken. "She's defied all odds because most Easter-Egger Hens live an average of five to eight years," Hull told Guinness World Records. She said Pearl's mobility is limited now, so she spends most of her time in the family's laundry room. "She is welcome to come out into the living room, because she likes to watch TV when she hears it on," Hull said. Pearl is also fond of the family's elderly cat and new kitten. "She doesn't seem to mind the other animals, and the kitten will sometimes sit with her," Hull said. Hull said Pearl's egg production has slowed, but she laid one right after the family found out she was an official Guinness World Record-holder. The previous oldest chicken living, an Illinois pet named Peanut, died Dec. 25, 2023, at the age of 21 years and 238 days old.
