Free meal trains, ride trains, and kids carpools

iLunch helps friends, neighbors, and family take turns bringing meals and giving rides when someone needs backup. Start a free meal train—some folks call it a food train—in seconds.

What iLunch is (and is not)

iLunch is a free meal and ride coordination tool—not a restaurant, caterer, food delivery service, or transportation provider. Friends and family provide the meals or rides; iLunch keeps the schedule organized.

Three steps, zero group-text chaos.

  1. Make the train Pick the dates, add allergies and the door code.
  2. Text the link Everyone claims a day. No app, no passwords.
  3. Help arrives Reminders go out, dinner shows up, and the recipient can focus on what matters.
