Help Coordinate Support

Set up meal coordination for a family during their shiva

Are you organizing meals for the family?

This page is for the friend, neighbour, or family member setting up the meal schedule. Here's how it works:

  1. You create a page with the shiva dates and dietary needs
  2. Share the link with your community
  3. Volunteers sign up for specific days — the family sees what's covered at a glance

Want to sign up to bring food instead? Ask the organizer for the link to the shiva support page.

Why coordinate instead of just calling a caterer?

Coordination works alongside caterers — someone orders from Sonny's for Tuesday, someone else cooks for Wednesday:

  • Prevent duplicates so every day is covered
  • Cover all 7 days so the family is looked after
  • Multiple friends contribute without stepping on each other
  • Family sees what's covered at a glance
