Make a Meal for the Budd Family

If you'd like to make a meal, please first view the on-line calendar in order to find a date that is available. YOU WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO VIEW THE CALENDAR. TO SCHEDULE A DATE, PLEASE CALL ONE OF THE THREE CONTACTS LISTED BELOW. To view the calendar, click here: . Click on the "month" tab to view the entire calendar.

CALENDAR TROUBLE-SHOOTING:
  • If you are asked to first create a Google account in order to view the calendar, it is FREE and only requires creating a user name and password.
  • If you cannot (or wish not to) access the calendar, please feel free to call one of the contacts listed below and they will be happy to communicate available dates to you over the phone.
  • If the text entered into the days on the calendar appears off-center, click a different tab, then click on the "month" tab once again.

In order to secure a date, please call one of the three contacts listed below. These ladies have scheduling capabilities to secure your date.

Terry Boch ~ 973-515-1132 (home), 973-975-2259 (cell)
Loretta DiQuattro ~ 973-751-1770 (home), 862-220-1770 (cell)

A FEW NOTES REGARDING MEALS:

  • Meals are being scheduled from Monday - Thursday only.
  • Please deliver them in disposable containers so Paul won't have to keep track of what needs to be returned.
  • Paul will most likely not be able to visit with people who are dropping off food. He will either be in transit from visiting Joanne or seeing his children for the first time that evening. Thank you in advance for being respectful of their time together.
  • Please drop-off the food between 6 and 6:30 p.m. If Paul is not home, please leave the meal in the cooler on the Budd's back porch.
  • For Trinity Christian School families, feel free to take the meal to the school at 3:05 p.m. in order to send it home with whomever is providing transportation for the Budd children on that particular day. No need to find out who is driving ahead of time... just find a Budd child at the end of school to locate the driver.
  • If you have problems with drop-off, please do not call their home. Instead, please call one of the three contacts listed above.
  • In order to prevent the Budd's from receiving three lasagnas in a row, if you know what you'll be making, please let one of the contacts know so they can enter it onto the calendar. To see what others are making, while viewing the on-line calendar, instead of viewing it under the "month" tab, click the "agenda" tab.
  • For those who would like to treat the Budd's to dinner, without actually making the meal, you may contribute funds so they can order out from local restaurants. We will supply them with as many menus as we can, so they can order meals to be delivered to their doorstep - especially on the weekends when meals are not being supplied and their schedules will be less predictable due to visiting Joanne. Please make checks payable to Paul Budd, with "dinner" written in the memo. Their mailing address is: 61 Orchard Street, Bloomfield, NJ 07003.

MEALS THE BUDD CHILDREN REALLY LIKE:

  • Roasted chicken and red potatoes (Boston Market or the premade roaster chickens at grocery stores)
  • Ground turkey tacos (easy on the spice)
  • Spaghetti and meatballs
  • Pizza
  • Chicken Parm
  • Ziti - light on the cheese
