A meal train is a shared schedule where friends and family take turns bringing meals. Whether someone is welcoming a new baby, recovering from surgery, or having a hard week, iLunch makes it easy to organize practical help for free.
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.
Give new parents a few weeks of dinners while they find their rhythm.
Coordinate meals and, when needed, a separate ride schedule for follow-up appointments.
Offer steady, low-pressure support after a loss, during treatment, or through another life change.
Blend freezer meals, gift-card days, and practical notes for a family whose routine changes week to week.

No. iLunch is free coordination software. It does not sell, prepare, or deliver food, and it does not provide transportation. Friends and family provide the meals or rides.
