Chabad House women Shifrah & Puah group has this meal train running for mothers giving birth. Seems really good.

I believe this is another similar site which we used once to help a friend.
Rochie says
I have used this website before and found it to be an amazing tool! Everyone can see what meals are open, and what other people are already bringing. It also emails you a reminder and has important information like addresses, allergies and preferences.

ANYONE CAN USE THE SHIFRAH&PUAH MEALTRAIN! Please don’t hesitate to contact us, text, or call when a baby is born. This is just a streamlined process to make meal giving SO much easier and efficient for our community. You can even be “in charge” of your own friends mealtrains because once its set up, it’s very easy to follow and use. It includes drop off times, allergies, number of people to cook for, etc, and includes email alerts/reminders for both the giver and receiver (no more wondering if they had chicken for the last 3 nights, or if someone would switch nights with you because something came up!). The idea is that we have a database of people/emails so that the entire community can have a chance to participate in this special mitzvah! Contact us @ Clevelandshifrahpuah@gmail.com. May we only share in Simchas!
