Meal planning and grocery logistics can get heavy fast, especially when someone’s needs change day to day. This page gives you practical options for food, groceries, backup supplies, and tools you can use to start with whatever feels easiest.

Start with your situation

Pick the section that sounds closest to what you’re dealing with today.

I do not know what food to buy

If your brain is blank, use an AI assistant as a translation tool:

• You provide a few scattered preferences (what sounds okay, what sounds bad, what’s easy).
• It gives you a short list of meal ideas + a grocery list you can order.

Start with “backup foods” first (drinks, crackers, soup, yogurt) and add variety later.

I need groceries delivered

Delivery can be the easiest path when leaving the house or walking a store feels like too much.

• If delivery fees feel high, check if store pickup is available.
• If substitutions are stressful, add notes (or choose “no substitutions” for a few key items).

If you’re ordering for someone else, focus on:

• Drinks + easy-to-tolerate foods
• A few repeatable meals
• Household basics (paper goods, cleaning supplies)

I am helping from far away

Options that often work well:

• Send a grocery delivery (or a small “bare minimum” order below).
