How Porchlight works

Looking after each other

  1. 1Start a care calendarNew baby, surgery, a loss? On the group's page, under In this group, tap Care calendars, then Start a care calendar. Anyone in the group can start one.
  2. 2Pick the daysSay who it's for, which days need a meal, and where and when to drop it off. Everyone in the group hears about it right away.
  3. 3Take a dayTap I'll bring a meal on an open day, and say what you're bringing, so nobody brings lasagna three nights running.
  4. 4A reminder the night beforeThe evening before your day, you'll get a reminder with the address and the drop-off time.

Good to know

  • Plans changed? Tap Can't now on your day and it opens up for someone else.
  • Whoever started the calendar, and the group's leaders, can change the days or delete it.
  • Running care calendars show on the group's page under In this group, with how many days still need someone.
  • Getting to a gathering can be covered too: if your leaders turn on Rides, open it on a gathering's page and tap I need a ride or I can drive.
