Meals for a While is Here to Help

By Rita Dixon

Meals for a While is a ministry of Life Bible Fellowship Church. It is designed to provide meals for members of the church at stressful or critical times in a person’s life. The Meals for a While ministry is designed to help in the following situations:

• For immediate and urgent short-term needs.
• For those who are living alone and have no other source of assistance.
• For those who are going through immediate surgery/care/recovery, which involves the whole family.
• For those who are the sole caretakers of an ill person and do not have other family members/support to assist.
• For those have had a baby and need help on the first day or so after delivery.

If you are part of a group…

At LBF the LIFE Groups and other regular, organized groups that meet weekly/monthly are the first line of support for their members. In order to deepen this “family” atmosphere, we are asking that all groups provide for their members by supplying meals if needed. We believe that people within the group know each individual person in that group well. Because of this, the group is the best and first place for this need to be met.

Robyn Foster is the coordinator and will set up an online Care Calendar for the groups to schedule the meals, provide information about what each person brought, and the dates for the groups to provide meals. 

If you are not part of a group…

The Meals for a While program is also available for those who are outside of any organized group at Life Bible Fellowship Church. The coordinator, Robyn Foster, will use volunteers to try meet those needs. A two-day advance notice is required to activate the Meals for a While, and the guidelines listed above are used to determine who we’re able to help. How do you get information or assistance?
