Meal Train for the New Castner Family

Long Beach, CA

Story

Nina & Jake welcomed their little one into the world earlier than expected, and while baby is growing each day, the family is navigating this tender and intense time with lots of love, but very little time to take care of themselves. We’d love to support them by easing the daily stress of meals. There are two adults and one child at home, and they are not picky eaters. They especially love Italian food, but enjoy a variety of comforting food from restaurants or home-cooked meals. Containers that don’t need to be returned are ideal, and if you’re not up for cooking, gift cards to DoorDash, UberEats, or local restaurants are always appreciated. Thank you so much for showing up with your time, kindness, and nourishment during this season. Every little bit helps them focus on what matters most — their growing family.
