Meal Ministry Purpose
New Life seeks to love and serve families and individuals in times of need...after the birth of a baby...after surgery or hospitalization...during times of crisis.

Tips when providing a meal:
- Aim for a main dish (meat, sandwich, or casserole) and a side dish (salad, vegetable, or fruit). You may also include dessert if you wish.
- The meal does not need to be homemade. Some ideas include:
Main dishes:
- rotisserie chicken
- tavern
- broasted chicken takeout taco meat, shells, & fixings pizza delivery
- hot ham & cheese
- roast
- ham balls
- spaghetti
- casserole
- lasagna
Sides:
- lettuce salad cooked veggies raw veggie tray fruit salad
- jello
- garlic bread chips
- fresh fruit applesauce
- Ask a friend to help provide a meal together.
- Please deliver your meals in disposable containers so the receiver does not have to return dishes to you.
- Typically we ask that your meal be delivered hot and ready to eat at 5:30 PM, unless otherwise specified.
