You may want to find out what they've already had recently so you can change it up.

When I was on bedrest for 6 weeks following a traumatic birthing experience, my church brought meals every night except weekends. This was before "Take Them a Meal" online was a thing. I really appreciated the people who called and said, "I could make this, this, or this, just tell me which sounds best to you." One dear friend said, "What would you REALLY like to have?" Of course you hate to sound picky, but you do get cravings. And I told her I really was in the mood for chicken enchiladas. No one had made those. And so she said she'd be delighted. 16 years later and I still remember that. Fresh fruit was a big hit, too. Fresh salad, too--with dressing.

I always appreciated folks who would also bring extra paper plates and something to drink for the family (we had 3 older kids when the baby was born, so they went through food and drinks like nobody's business).
