Meal train sign-up template

When a family has a new baby, a surgery or a loss, the usual result is five lasagnas on Tuesday and nothing on Wednesday. This template sets one dinner a night for two weeks, each night open to one helper, so a claimed night drops off the list. Helpers say what they are bringing, tick whether it is vegetarian, gluten-free or dairy-free, and leave a note for the family. The address stays off the public page; you share it with whoever signs up.

Use this template Free, and no account needed to try it.

What is already in it

  • Fourteen nights in a row, one dinner each, with a 5:00 to 6:30pm drop-off window
  • One helper per night, so a claimed night closes for everyone else
  • A “What are you bringing?” field, with vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free checkboxes
  • A note for the family, and a phone number so you can reach each cook
  • No address on the public form

What people use it for

  • New babies and adoptions
  • Surgery and illness recovery
  • Bereavement and hard seasons
  • Church and small-group care teams

Everything in it is yours to change

A template is a starting point, not a cage. Rename the slots, change the limits, add or delete questions, swap the fonts and colours, or describe what you want differently and let the AI rework it. When it is ready you publish it and share one link — and whoever opens that link fills the form in without signing up for anything.
