Meal Train

Meal train is a great resource for someone going through cancer treatment.  Your friends and family will want to help you and providing a meal for your family is a great way for them to help.

Meal train makes it really easy for a friend or family member to set up meals for you and it is FREE!  You simply provide your friend or family member with the email addresses of your friends or family that may want to deliver a meal to you and your friend who is setting up your “meal train” will write a simple note explaining why meals are being set up and set up a calendar when you would need meals.  You can even add a specific meal delivery “window”, like “please deliver between 5-6pm” or a note like, ” please call the night before to schedule a delivery time”.

The calendar can be set up for every night, or every other night, or just 2 -3 times per week.  It is very user friendly and you can even note if there are food allergies or food preferences.  Once the calendar is set up, your friends and family will each receive an email that includes a link back to your “meal train” and they can view which days need meal deliveries and they can also view what dishes other people are bringing so that you don’t receive three rotisserie chickens in one week!
