Questions to Ask a Meal Recipient MARCH 27, 2018 / MAUREEN WITMER /
Often, we set up meal schedules for those we know best - close friends and family. But what happens when there's someone in your life who you don't know very well, but could greatly benefit from a meal schedule - a new neighbor, an acquaintance in your MOMS group, a co-worker or member of your church?
Five years ago, a TakeThemAMeal user, Kathy Ridgeway, sent us a questionnaire she created. She would print these questions or send them in an email when setting up meal schedules for people in her church. We've made a few adjustments over the years.
We hope these questions and the attached document make the process easier for you as you care for those in your community.

2. How long would you like to receive meals?

5. Time you'd prefer food to be delivered:
6. Contact Information:
7. How many adults and children will be eating?
8. Food allergies and preferences (think of everyone who will be eating when you answer the food questions, i.e. children, visitors):
9. Do you prefer disposable containers, or will you wash and return the containers?
10. Sometimes people want to provide carry out/delivery if they are too busy or are out of town:
