Dinners slots will be open on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Listed below are dates that are still open. If you would like to take a date here's what to do.

If you would like to take a date here's what to do:
Comment below with 1) Your Name 2) What day you would like, and 3) Your e-mail contact so that I can remind you and give you their address. Once that date is taken, I'll remove it from the list.

Please keep in mind a few things:
1)meals need to be delivered by 5 p.m. the day your are assigned

2) easy to prepare and in disposable containers not to be returned (this makes it so much easier on her)

3) Good! - Just kidding :)

4) Fresh or Frozen with clear instructions

**Take out pizza is always a good option if you don't have time or don't like to cook.

Another option if you would still like to do food but not dinner. Snack baskets. A new mom rarely has time to sit down to a hot meal, so quick snacks are great. Here are a few items that help.
-crackers
-string cheese
-fruit
-healthy snack bars
-bottles of water
-healthy juices
-muffins (some good homemade ones...yum)

The snack baskets can be dropped off at any time, just remember to call ahead or stop by quickly.

One last option - grocery store gift cards. New seasons, Safeway, Fred Meyer. If someone needs to do their shopping for the basics, they have an easy way to cover it.
