We're so glad you're interested in more information.  This year our Women's Club decided to start an official Meal Circle for the neighborhood thanks to a suggestion from one of our members.   This is truly one of the very best neighborhoods in Austin and when it comes to involvement -- a Meal Circle is right up our alley! 

There are so many reasons a family may need a meal for a night or a week.  We'd like to make their dinnertime as easy as possible, so here are a few suggestions:

• if possible, deliver food in disposable containers so our neighbors won't have to arrange returning clean dishes
• take in to account there may be kids eating too
• deliver before 6:30 and call if you'll be later
• if you're delivering a meal that is frozen, remember to write down the reheating directions
• read the email carefully to take note of any food allergies and how many people will be eating
• consider sending a copy of the recipe along with the dish

When we get an email suggesting a family, we'll contact them and find out the basics:  their address, how many are eating, how many are kids, if there are any food allergies, how long they would  need to receive meals, etc.  Then we'll email the group with all those details.  If you're able to bring a meal (it's understandable you won't always be available to cook), reply to the entire group (this is important so we don't overlap nights) with the date and if you know already, the meal you'll bring. 

The more members we have the better, of course.  And it usually works that once someone has received a meal, they want to be added to the circle (hence, circle).  So even if you're not able to cook a meal for a family, we'd LOVE for you to keep your eyes and ears open and let us know when we can be of help.
