MAGICAL HELP WITH MEALS

When you gift Dinner Elf, you’re giving home-cooked love. It's our mission to help nourish busy families, especially in seasons of need. Lighten the load of someone you love by letting us take care of dinner prep and cleanup.

WOULD THEY WANT A CHEF IN THEIR HOME?

9 times out of 10, yes. They're typically super excited and thankful for the home-cooked love. Since 2014, we've cooked for thousands of people in seasons of need. Our chefs are trained to be quiet and caring in the home. Customers can be home (new moms often enjoy a little adult conversation) or leave a key. And if they don't want the gift, we'll give you a full refund. Not convinced? Read hundreds of 5-star reviews from families that have used us.

"I received this as a gift after the birth of baby #2. I'm so happy I was able to relax and NOT have to make a meal for the family. Even my toddler gobbled everything on his plate. Mandy was AMAZING. Oh, not to mention... she cleaned up my kitchen too! Highly recommended."
- JOANNA

"This service is AWESOME! We used it for a friend who recently had surgery and the last thing they needed to be worrying about was meal planning/ shopping/ meal prep. It was so easy to create the meal fundraising site and by that evening had funds pouring in from our friends and family!"
- ROBERT

OUR LARGE MENU HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY

Our dinners are made from whole ingredients wherever possible. We have something for everyone, including lots of kid-friendly favorites and meals designed specifically for new moms. Our gift packages allow your recipient to pick exactly what they want to eat, and personalize it to their family's preferences. Learn about allergies.

BETTER THAN A MEAL TRAIN

Want to give a gift from many? Friends, family, and co-workers can contribute as little as $15 to an online group gift page. Then your recipient gets to pick an appointment time and home-cooked dinners from a huge menu. Their trusted chef grocery shops, cooks three nights of family-size dinners right in their kitchen, and cleans up. Why is this better than a meal train? Donors can help without cooking… from anywhere in the country. Your recipient gets to pick dinners that they want (not another casserole!) without the pressure to say hello during daily drop-offs.
