Mobile Meals Program

Mayflower Church also runs a Mobile Meals program, delivering hot meals every Saturday to both members and non-members of the church who need this service. Volunteers deliver the meals, under the direction of Kristin Harris, who runs the program, cooks, and coordinates the delivery.

For the past fourteen years, Mayflower church has been an integral part of supplying hot meals to homebound elderly of Oklahoma City. "Mobile Meals" is a project of Oklahoma City area churches, Eldercare Access Center, Inc., and the Areawide Aging Agency. Its goal is to provide supplemental dietary care to frail elderly, by providing them a well balanced meal once a day, as many days as possible.

Every Saturday morning at Mayflower, a hot, home-cooked lunch is prepared for approximately 20-24 clients. Volunteers from our church buy, prepare, and deliver the meals. The funds are provided through the Benevolence giving of Mayflower members, and a small voluntary donation from the clients. Over thirty volunteers graciously donate their time each week to bring this all together. Because of Mayflower and other area churches, many older persons are able to maintain a safe, independent lifestyle in their own home.
