Meals are typically delivered during the lunch hour approximately 11:30am to 1:30pm. We ask that you, or someone in your household, be home to receive the meal. For food safety purposes we are not allowed to leave your meal unattended at your door, in a cooler, or on a table.

We require 24 hours notice for cancellation of a meal service or delivery. If you are unavailable to accept delivery of your meal, please contact our office in advance to make other arrangements. This is to avoid being billed for an unreceived meal.
