Food delivery and other help in McMinnville, OR

April 16, 2013 9:30 AM

A friend's toddler is in the pediatric ICU in a Portland hospital for the foreseeable future, possibly several weeks. They live in McMinnville. A group of us would like to set up some kind of food delivery and/or housecleaning help for them over the duration, both for the parents who are basically living at the hospital and for the family friend and older kids who are at home in McMinnville. Constraints: none of us is in McMinnville, so we need something that can be arranged over the phone or the internet, but we do have folks in Portland who may be able to help out for hospital runs; food needs to be vegetarian.

Dinewise has vegetarian options, but it takes several days for the order to be shipped.

I'm in McMinnville, but unfortunately, there's no food delivery here that I know of besides the ubiquitous pizza places. None of the standard restaurants do delivery and I think your only option would be to pay someone doing taxi service or something?

Perhaps you can see if someone on Care.com can come in for a couple of hours each day to tidy up and to cook dinner for the family.

Response by poster: Thanks for the answers. It doesn't solve our problem, but it does tell me we can stop barking up that tree.
