Top things to consider when participating in the Meal Train for The Ogle’s: · 1. It is best to expect that The Ogle’s are not yet ready to entertain. Unless suggested by the them, plan to stay no more than 10-15 minutes when dropping off a meal. · 2. If there are open calendar days after your delivery, make enough for leftovers. Freezable meals are also nice. · 3. Don’t forget the extras like drinks, condiments, and salad dressing. · 4. If you are having something delivered (e.g. pizza), make sure to pay and tip in advance. · 5. Deliver your meal in a recyclable or reusable container knowing that you may not get it back. · 6. If possible, text the recipient that you are on your way. A little heads up can go a long way. · 7. Include clear preparation instructions, i.e. "Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees." · 8. As a nice added bonus, bring breakfast food for the following morning, such as muffins, bagels, and fruit salad. · 9. For those that are out of town or unable to drop off a meal to The Ogle’s; there are other ways of supporting them (meal service or gift cards). Send them a fully prepared meal straight to their door: https://takethemameal.com/store/ https://www.sendameal.com/sympathy Allow them to choose their own menu and date/time with a gift card: -Uber Eats -Grubhub -Any local restaurants (preferably ones that deliver) -If you want to donate money via cash, venmo or PayPal I will make a meal for them on your behalf. *Angie said there are no allergies or preferences on food.
