That's very thoughtful. Have you ever had an Edible Arrangement? They are delish, pretty, and feed a crowd if you need it for when extended family are around. Another idea...fill a dollar store plastic basket ...like 12 inches square with grab n go snacks. I did that for a mom who lost her husband and has school age kids. She said it was the best gift she got because it took a lot of the stress of packing lunches when the funeral was over and the kids had a routine to carry on. I put a Dole fruit cup with a plastic spoon and into a Ziploc bag. About 12. Plus granola bars, nutrigrain bars, almonds in indiv packets, small Utz chip bags, ie nonperishable snacks. You might think of what routines will be in place afterwards, too. Simply taking one burden off a grieving person is hugely meaningful.
