How do I add scheduled meals?

Written by Nicole

Meals can be enabled either on the front of a Support Page, or in the backend.

On the front, simply click "Edit", right next to "Support Registry", and check the box next to meals.

On the Organizer Dashboard:

Organizer Dashboard → Edit → Support Options

Then manage meal dates under the Meals tab.

Can I import or sync an existing meal train from another tool?

There's no import, sync, or mass-upload from another meal-train service — but setting one up here only takes a couple of minutes. Turn on Meals (click "Edit" next to "Support Registry," or go to Organizer Dashboard → Edit → Support Options), then add your meal dates under the Meals tab. Supporters can then claim a date to bring a meal or send a gift for meals.

How far ahead can supporters see?

The public calendar shows up to three months of dates at a time: the next three months that have dates scheduled. Dates you add further out are saved, and they appear for supporters automatically as earlier months pass. For example, January dates show up once October's dates are past. This keeps meals and needs that are months away from being claimed early and then forgotten. The Lend a Hand calendar works the same way.
