Knowing how much a delivered meal is appreciated is one reason I try to keep meals frozen and ready - so I can respond with that gift quickly when the need arises.

I emailed them, now I'm awaiting a reply... very anxiously, I might add! I love making things ahead of time, especially for occasions you suggested. When I had my oldest daughter, we had a week's worth of meals brought to us... it was a life saver! Then when I miscarried last year, I wished someone would have brought us meals... it was months before I felt like cooking again! Ever since then, every time anyone has anything happen (especially a death in the family of any type), my husband and I set everything aside and bring them dinner. It really ministered to a good friend of mine when her mom died... no one else had reached out to them in any way! Anyway, thanks for the link and all that... hopefully I get it straightened out so I can see the site!

I always like to see what they have on their menus for ideas! I like that your suggestions for bring a meal to a friend are for more than just the typical "having a baby." Last year when I had my miscarriage (and again when I had my ruptured ectopic pregnancy), several friends brought food over. I know they were at a loss for exactly what to say (both times), but the food said it all!

Last month I did all the prep work of putting together the menu and shopping list and to-do list the day of cooking. This sounds like a great resource for us! Thanks.

I was all sorts of excited about it, so I went to join, and it's telling me "Sorry. No match on the code you entered." Am I doing it wrong or am I too early? When does it start?

Am I doing it wrong or am I too early?

Making meals is one of my FAVORITE things to do for friends! It is such a joy to be able to bless people this way. I have been on the receiving side too and it really is such a great thing!
