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 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 Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Local family mission holds ribbon cutting for renovated space
WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) — In Trumbull County, the Warren Family Mission is celebrating the grand opening of its newly renovated space. With the snip of a ribbon Friday, the Warren Family Mission is marking the start of what's to come for its new Community Outreach Center. 'We're just happy we're thankful and we're excited that this dream has now become a reality,' said Dominic Mararri with the Warren Family Mission. It's a multipurpose room inside the mission's building on Tod Avenue. One that'll be used to host the upcoming Easter meal and other events such as community meetings or classes. 'We do plan on launching a youth program this upcoming summer and just offering this new service to reach our kids before they're in the food lines,' Mararri said. Three city councilmen, Pastor Todd Johnson, Andrew Herman and Ron White, set aside $70,000 in ARPA funds to help the mission transform the former church sanctuary. 'I think it's essential that we have spaces like this open to our youth and to all members of the community,' said Johnson. 'The Warren family Mission actually does a lot for the city and a lot for the people within the community itself,' White said. Even though the major renovations to the space are finished, the mission says there's still more work to be done. 'We need soundproofing and more tables and chairs and we'll need some computers and stuff like that,' Mararri said. 'So if you're looking to donate and help us out and make a difference in the community, think of us.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
