In a Pinch

What is In-A-Pinch?
In A Pinch is a volunteer driven program that provides meals to moms that have just given birth or are in need due to bed rest, surgery, etc. We have a wonderful group of volunteers, but are always looking for more.

Who can participate?
Any mom who is a member of AMC. You can be either a meal receiver or a meal volunteer (or both). If you know someone who could use this service, please contact us ASAP and we'll take care of the rest. The best and most rewarding way of participating is actually becoming a meal volunteer. It is a fun and easy way to help out a fellow mom that really needs it.

When or how often can I expect to participate?
The time commitment for volunteering is small and you can limit the number of times you want to help out (once a month, once a quarter, etc.) and even the areas that you would be willing to deliver to (for example, the city that you live in).

Helpful Meal Hints...

• Whatever you are preparing for your family, just double it. No one is expecting a gourmet meal... simple and basic is best.
• The meal doesn't have to be home cooked from scratch, but should be a complete meal including a dessert.
• Mom should just need to put in on the table for her family.
• Use foil pans, zip lock baggies or disposable plastic ware to deliver meals so the receiver doesn't have to return dishes to you.
• Tape cooking instructions or reheating instructions directly on top of each dish.
• Mom should just need to put in on the table for her family.
• Examples of quick and easy IAP meals:
  • A pot of chili, cheese to sprinkle on top, a bag of salad, a loaf of sour dough bread, and cookies or a pint of ice cream for dessert.
  • Baked chicken, Minute rice, green beans or other veggie, rolls and brownies for dessert.
  • For those that don't have time to cook... pick up an uncooked ready made pizza, bag of salad and a couple of cupcakes and you're good to go!
