💛 We’re Back — And We Need YOU

Meal Menders is relaunching our mission to support new and postpartum moms with meals for themselves and their families.

Before we begin accepting requests, we’re building our community of support.

If you’ve ever wanted to help a mom during one of the most vulnerable seasons of her life—this is your chance.

There are so many ways to get involved:
🍲 Cook a meal
🚗 Deliver a meal
🛒 Donate groceries
💳 Contribute funds
💌 Offer encouragement

👉 Sign up here to volunteer: https://forms.gle/NHu6rjVNJq7ZqCkm7

Even the smallest act of kindness can make a huge impact. ❤️

Comment JOINING once you’ve signed up!

Hey friends! 👋🏼
Anissa here!

While I am still currently living out of state I have felt the continued call to build this group up and assist in getting it running again. My co-admin Rebecca has been amazing during this process and will continue to help push this mission in the central Texas area and hopefully beyond and some point.

We will be adding a new admin shortly and will hopefully get things running as they were as soon as possible.

Please spread the word + also make sure to check in here to see opportunities for volunteering, donating, and so on.

If you know you would be interested in making and/or delivering a meal at some point in the future, please message us so we can add you to our volunteer list! We will be starting our volunteer list from scratch again, and we’d love to have you assist in bringing light to mamas postpartum!

Alright friends 🥲

I know I’ve been quiet since I found out we are moving but I just had to hop on one last time saying I am SO grateful for all of you who made this page what it is.

It has healed a part of me I didn’t realize needed healing. I’ve made amazing friends through this page that I’ll be forever grateful for.

Tomorrow I’ll turn over the page to my amazing
volunteer Rebecca who will run the page and organization as she see’s fit ❤️ she has a heart of gold and I know she will continue this amazing mission.

Thank you all again for the support this past year 😭😭😭🙏🏼

Wanted a share a resource I used with my last baby that isn’t super well known-the Mommy Care Kit!

You apply for the kit on the link above and they contact your insurance to see what will be covered. There are tons of insurance types that cover either the whole or partial Mommy Care Kit.

The photo below is what all they offer. My insurance thankfully gave me the whole kit!

If you have questions about the process let me know. The tens unit and plasma flow was a life saver for me!

I wasn’t expecting a response as quickly as I got one but come July this page and its mission *will* continue!! 🎉
The new head admin will be Rebecca who has been an amazing volunteer with us for awhile. I know for a fact the page will be in amazing hands when it comes time for me to leave.

I will be here managing content and deliveries until July and then Rebecca will take over and run the page to the best of her ability. We ask for your continued support when we make this transition 🩷
