About us
Who we are
Marshall Mobile Meals is a 100% all volunteer organization that delivers nutritious meals from Oaklawn Hospital, five days a week in the Marshall, Michigan area.
Incorporated in August 1971, Mobile Meals of Marshall, Inc. started delivering nutritious meals to elderly, handicapped, and home-bound residents the following month. Sue Cowgill, a resident of Marshall, founded the service by cooking meals for individuals identified as beneficiaries. Over time, she enlisted help from others and led the service for 30 years.
Oaklawn Hospital prepares and packages meals under a registered dietitian’s supervision. Clients’ diets follow physician specifications and personal preferences. Volunteers deliver hot lunches and cold suppers to eligible clients’ homes daily, including holidays. Two delivery routes ensure meals arrive within an hour of pickup from Oaklawn’s kitchen.
Our approach
Our Mission
Our mission is to make sure all young people and children get all the support they need, when they need it, no matter what it is.
Mobile Meals of Marshall has 45 volunteer drivers delivering meals and checking on clients daily. This service is available to anyone aged 55 or older within Marshall city limits, regardless of their ability to pay. Clients may be isolated, medically frail, or handicapped, and referrals can come from physicians, the individual, or their family.
Our Vision
Our goal is to offer nutritious meals to Marshall's elderly, aiming to enhance the overall health of the community.
Our service helps individuals remain in their homes longer by facilitating physician-prescribed diets that meet their nutritional needs. The financial support of the Marshall United Way, along with contributions from churches, the community, clients, memorials, and other donations, ensures the viability of Mobile Meals.
