The name “Stremmel” is synonymous with feeding ministries in Abilene.

Terry is the longtime chair of the board of Breakfast on Beech Street, which began serving a hot breakfast at First Christian Church in 1996. Both Terry and Brenda Stremmel are longtime volunteers with Meals on Wheels Plus, and both were honored as Volunteers of the Month for March.

“Everyone needs and hot meal and a smile” is the reason they give for volunteering with Meals on Wheels Plus.

Terry started volunteering with Meals on Wheels in July 2011. Brenda started her service in June 2008. She delivers Route 25 on Fridays, helps Terry on his routes, and substitutes as needed. Brenda also volunteers with Safe Families and is a Master Naturalist.
