Meal trains

Meal trains your church can set up in minutes

A new baby, a surgery, a loss. Your people want to help, and the hard part is the spreadsheet. Compel asks the right team, lets each volunteer pick a date, and reminds them before they deliver.

Free for 14 days. Meal trains by email are on every plan; by text on Growth.

Volunteers choose their own date

Each person gets a link and picks an open day. No group texts, no double-booked Tuesdays.

Everything they need, when they need it

Signing up sends the address and details. A reminder goes out the morning of delivery, and a thank-you after.

The family isn't asked to help themselves

Requests go to your team, never to the person being cared for or their household. You can send the family a short form for their preferences and address.

See it all in one place

Which dates are covered, which are open, and who's bringing what, next to the rest of your church's care.

Questions churches ask

Do volunteers need an account?: No. They sign up for a date from a link in a text or email.
Can we run more than one meal train at once?: Yes. Each need has its own dates and its own sign-ups.
