We always do this at church and I try to bring a few other things with me - little trinkets for older siblings, extra frozen dinners, paper plates & plastic utensils, etc...

I love this idea. We do this at our church too. It's such a great way to give someone something practical and let them know that they are thought of and loved. Sometimes people are allergic to flowers (and they don't always last very long). By bringing someone dinner, you are giving them a gift for the whole family.

One of my goals this year, is to organize and beef up my stockpile and frozen assets. I would love to be able to quickly select a meal from my freezer whenever I find that someone is in need.
