A Guide for Bringing Food for Crossway Meals

The Invitation

• We encourage everyone to consider bringing food to share in our Crossway meals
• It is helpful when people sign up ahead of time at tiny.cc/cmcmeal
• We encourage people to bring food even if they haven’t signed up

What to bring

• You are encouraged to bring food that is special or normal for you
• You can bring little or much
• You are welcome to make the food or purchase it

Food labels

• It is helpful to label food
  • What it is, and perhaps what culture or country it represents
  • List potential food allergens, such as dairy, nuts, eggs, wheat (gluten)
  • How spicy it is

What to do with your food

• When to bring it
  • 9:45-9:55am on the Sunday of the meal is best
• What to do with it when you arrive
  • If it needs to stay warm or cold, ask the Meal Coordinator
  • If it can be room temperature, you can leave it on the serving table
• No need to bring serving utensils (like a serving spoon or fork).
  • Crossway will provide
• What to do as the meal finishes up
  • Be sure to take home your dishes
