Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for volunteering to make a meal for the Kerrigan’s during this difficult time. Sharon and I have had an immense response to our email- which is a great tribute to Kathy and this community.
I have attached a meal calendar with a day assigned to you. I have tried to adhere to any restrictions that we received. Due to the great response, we have a list of extra people who can be alternates, if for some reason you can not keep your commitment. (This list is also attached) Otherwise, these extra people will be utilized in the next round of meals that we expect in Feb/March for chemo treatments or whatever else may arise.
Here is what I have arranged for delivery of meals. I volunteer in the Good Sams program at St. Thomas More church and I modeled this after their program design. The Kerrigan’s will have a cooler on their breezeway porch to place the meal in. The meal should be in disposable gladware or some such containers or at least in something they do not need to return. You should attach basic warming up or cooking instructions. I am thinking we should deliver by 530-6pm or so each day. The meal can be delivered earlier because of the cooler (as long as it is shut tight so no doggies can get in) If you want you can call before or right after you deliver the meal. It is also great to include a personal note if you want.
As far as food choices go- I think her kids are pretty simple meat and potato kids which isn’t always easy in a make ahead meal. My ideas would be chicken dishes, pasta dishes, ( I guess lasagna is not a favorite),maybe meatloaf, ready to go meals like pre cooked chicken, pizza or even sandwiches. Also perhaps meals they could easily put together such as tacos, sloppy joes etc. I am sure you all have your own wonderful ideas. I think Kathy and family will be most appreciative of all meals.
I would like those assigned to a date to confirm by email that they received this and also put in your reply an IDEA of what you might make- I will then regenerate the calendar with the menu on it to try to avoid three chicken dishes in a row etc. As I get in responses, I will update the calendar and send it out so you can respond based on what you see. I hope this makes sense.
A final note for those wonderful teachers who have volunteered a meal- please just bring the food to school that day (Mast Way) We can also pick it up at ORMS - we will then deliver to Kathy’s home.
Thank you all so much,
Barbara Sack
