Recently, a friend shared a sweet way to personalize a meal schedule with me. If you've created a meal schedule before, you'll know that there are many ways to customize it, allowing you to add personal touches as well as important links or information that may be needed to help a loved one. In a recent newsletter, I shared how easy it is to create a meal schedule. Today I'm sharing a beautiful "Thank You" image for you to download and use whenever needed. Your recipient, as well as those who signed up to take meals, will appreciate this simple and thoughtful gesture.

There are many personal ways to customize and design your own image through the website, Canva. Canva allows you to select multiple templates, many of which are offered for free! To create your own, search for "Thank You" templates in the search bar at the top of the page. Choose templates that are "square" or compatible with Instagram, as they are usually the best size for uploading to your meal schedule. Images that are too large will not upload properly!

To save you time, I've created this beautiful watercolor thank you image to download and start using right away! Simply click on the link below, save it to your computer, and use it anytime you are looking to add a personal touch to your next meal schedule.

Canva also allows you to upload any images you'd like to add as well, like the Take Them A Meal logo I added at the bottom of my image!

Another creative way to personalize a meal schedule is to include, with their permission, a picture of the recipient (s). Providing a photograph of the individual or family in need can create a more personal experience for both the giver and receiver.

I hope this idea, shared with me by my friend, has inspired you to be creative with any meal schedule you create. There's no telling how much joy, gratitude, or comfort you may provide to those participating in taking meals to a loved one in need, as well as to the recipients themselves. Thank you to our users for sharing their ideas with us! We always love hearing from you!
