Serving with our Meals Ministry

Three Avenues of Care Through Our Meals Ministry

In any significant change of circumstances–welcoming a new baby, dealing with or recovering from an illness, or losing a loved one–the regular routines of life become disrupted. Parkside’s meal ministry seeks to provide practical care in these circumstances, offering extra support to families during new or difficult seasons of life. For volunteers, it provides a way to tangibly show others the love of Jesus and the care of the body of Christ.

Sample Dinner Meals

These menus are a guideline as to what kind of meal you might bring. We do not assign specific meals, but you may be asked what you intend to bring so that, when possible, we can avoid providing the family with several similar meals in a row.

General Instructions

As a general guideline please bring meals that are ready to serve (i.e. cook rice and noodles so that they only need to be warmed). Our goal is to limit a new mother's work load, so when possible, elimiate steps in the serving of the meal.
