Each weekday more than 125 generous members of our community dedicate their time to deliver a nutritious, hot meal to hundreds of frail and homebound throughout the Spartanburg region. Mobile Meals is much more than a meal. We provide nourishment for the mind, body and soul. Mobile Meals delivers love, compassion, and hope to those in need.  

Our ministry includes meal delivery, nursing services, case management, and a lay pastor.

MISSION

Mobile Meals glorifies God by providing nutritious meals, services, and fellowship to the homebound citizens in Spartanburg County.

HISTORY

With the vision of the founding executive director, Jayne McQueen, along with the influence of First Presbyterian Church and the Spartanburg County Planning Commission began Mobile Meals of Spartanburg on October 3, 1977, serving 25 meals with 15 volunteers. Today we serve nearly 2000 residents with over 100 volunteers each weekday.

Mobile Meals is an independent 501-C3 non-profit organization which depends on contributions from businesses, churches, foundations, and individuals to meet an annual budget of more than 2 million dollars.

We are governed by a Board of Directors who has oversight responsibility for financial decisions regarding Mobile Meals. We are responsible stewards of the resources and operate with the highest level of accountability using an annual certified audit.

In 1985, President Ronald Reagan’s Commission on Aging recognized Mobile Meals as a model program for the nation. In 1999 Congressman Jim Demit presented Mobile Meals of Spartanburg the first Spirit of Freedom Award.
