Meal Train® for New Beginnings Meals

Special Instructions

Hi! If this is your first time preparing a meal for us, please email Linda@NewBeginningsNWA.org to schedule an orientation. We are currently serving approximately 30 people, including residents in our Medical Respite Program. You have two options for preparing the meal: Cook at your own location and deliver it to us before 5:00PM. Cook on-site using your own ingredients and/or items from our pantry or purchased supplies. Please plan to arrive between 3:00–4:00 PM (or earlier if needed). Important: • Please email your recipe and a list of needed ingredients at least one week in advance to Linda@NewBeginningsNWA.org. • Dinner is usually served around 5:00 PM. • We provide pots, pans, serving utensils, spices, gloves, and a hand-washing station. • You’re welcome to use fresh or frozen veggies from our garden—just ask what’s available! When serving food, we ask volunteers to wear a proper head covering (such as a visor or baseball cap). We have visors available if needed. Resident meal suggestions include: Lasagna, Fajitas, Turkey Chili, Chicken & Dumplings, Casseroles, Beef Stew, Fried Chicken, and more. Note: Please keep in mind that some residents may have dental issues, so try to avoid hard foods like croutons or raw, crunchy fruits and vegetables. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me: Linda@NewBeginningsNWA.org. Thanks so much for supporting our community!
