Remote casserole delivery service

DC Mefites! I have a friend with two young kids whose husband passed away last week after short illness. We can't get there (and, quite frankly, they don't need us right now with the amount of local/family support on-hand), but we'd like to do something for them to ease some of day-to-day burden at some point, without being an impersonal fruit basket.
One idea hearkens back to our own local custom, of food delivery. Is there a non-subscription meal prep and delivery service gift certificate that we could send instead? Nothing super fancy (cost isn't necessarily an option, but something kid friendly makes the most sense), but that she could phone/order for an evening when needed. We're in rural Canada, and know not of these things in US cities.

Best answer: It looks like Munchery delivers to DC. It's nice because it's a little more like "homey" food than delivery from a restaurant. The meals arrive refrigerated and you just microwave them. They're quite tasty. (They have a daily selection, including kids meals and desserts.)

I'm in DC - haven't tried Munchery but I've tried the very similar Galley. I like it a lot!

I'm not in D.C. but I've used Munchery and have found it to be excellent.
